Cade is TWO!

Our precious Cade turned two on Thursday.  Because it was 90 degrees here in Nicaragua, he got to spend his birthday playing in the park, eating watermelon, and dining outside.  He couldn't have been happier! 



There was a little teensy mishap, though.  Cade loves to swing (what kid doesn't?).  He was swinging away, singing happy birthday to himself (adorable!) and apparently mommy got a little carried away with the pushing.  You have to see the video - especially the slow motion part.  Whoops... 


I tried to make up for it with a birthday cake.  Chocolate fixes everything, right?  I wasn't sure that we'd be able to pull that off, but we found a cake mix, guessed at the measurements (they were in metric), and baked it just right in an oven whose temperature gauge reads only "1-5." We all thought it was yummy, especially the birthday boy!  


So now we've celebrated the first of four birthdays we'll have here in Nicaragua, and it was perfect in every way!
