Smile It's a Birthday Party!!

I've seen several folks post about upcoming birthdays this week, April 28th, April 29th, May 5th (?) and that we won't have our babies with us to celebrate.

So, I thought I would host a virtual birthday party for my twins and anyone else who would like to celecbrate their baby's birthday with me. Anyone can have a seat in the "Guests of Honor HighChairs" - if their birthday was in April, or May, or heck even if it was some other time and you needed to recognize it today!

And ALL of our Forum Friends are invited to attend!

We live in Virginia, so we bought a Dogwood Tree and will plant in on Sunday in their honor. It will be known as Austin and Logan's tree and bloom every spring around their birthday!

So, here are Austin and Logan (pic taken in Feb when they were 9 1/2 months old). Happy Birthday, babies!!
