another birthday

A mere 2 weeks after celebrating Clara's birthday, we were at it again.  This time, daddy turned a year older.  Great grandpa mailed a birthday card to me and of course included a couple of toys for the girls (tugboats that Janny is proudly holding).
I fear that Clara and Janny are turning into night owls.  Last night Clara needed to go potty at 11:30 (maybe she was awake until then, but we don't know for sure), and was heard running in the living room afterwards (to get more toys to play with).  As I'm writing this at 9:50 local time, they are in their beds, but Clara is playing with wooden toys and Janny is humming-singing.
Janny likes to read books now.  Yea!  Both girls like to watch Toy Story 3 every day.  Smartly, we have figured out that we can start the movie about 2/3 through.  As long as they get to see the end, they are happy.  Not sure how long before Clara protests this strategy.
To mix things up a bit for my birthday celebration, we invited lots of friends to an old fashioned pizza party, albeit with a slight twist.  Village Inn has a few video games inside, but outside there are sand volleyball courts and softball fields.  We had planned to play a little volleyball before lunch.  A few brave souls joined us to battle strong winds and rather chilly (for September) temps.  Very quickly, we were inside eating pizza and cake.
 This is how we look in fall 2012.
So far, it feels good to have a another prime number age.
