Doug, Naoko, Tommy :: Mount Prospect, IL

The day after Killian and Liz’s wedding was Tommy’s 2nd birthday party. I honestly didn’t think we were going to make it. I woke up and told Dallas to call Danny to come and get Tommy’s gift on the way to the party because we weren’t going. But Dallas wanted to go so I got ready and then slept til Danny came to pick us up. Danny took some back way to Mount Prospect with a lot of speed bumps and I contemplated opening the door or something because I thought I was going to be sick. By the time we got there I was feeling ok.

It’s hard to wrangle so many kids. They kept walking out of the photo! I know a few kids are missing here and there were also a few babies not pictured.

Tommy’s birthday is a lot of fun. There are always a lot of little kids. Seems like I always end up playing with Miku. Her family speaks Japanese in their home and I don’t think she speaks much English. .. but a language barrier doesn’t mask the fact that she loves to ham it up, especially in front of the camera. That is her with what was left of the pinata on her head. The little kids didn’t really destroy the pinata… it was the older boys, including Dallas, who were throwing footballs at it that really killed it.

I know everyone always says this, and Doug and Naoko are probably sick of hearing it, but I just can’t get over it every time I see Tommy… how he looks EXACTLY like Doug.

These photos are way late because I didn’t get a chance to post them between Killian & Liz’s wedding and the wedding we attended the following weekend in Connecticut.
