Happy Mother's Day

Here's wishing all the moms (grandmoms, great gradmoms) out there a VERY Happy Mother's Day! Where would we be without our mom's? Not here! Thanks mom for wiping my nose, changing my diapers, nourishing me and for being an all around great maternal influence in my life.

...and down we go...

My Cousin Jack was here for my birthday and helped me take a wild ride (actually, several) down the hill in our backyard. In fact, the vehicle (it's like a four-wheel bike) was a gift for my birthday last year from Cousin Jack (and Aunt Michele and Uncle Mark). That hill is so cool!!! How many two-year olds have what amounts to a roller coaster ride in their back yard!?!?! Here's some video. What a great birthday!

Party, party, party (and cake!)

Everyone came to East Greenbush for my second birthday party Saturday. Folks from Rochester, Oswego, Buffalo and various parts of Connecticut all converged to celebrate my turning two. The weather was a little all of the place - it was raining one minute and super sunny the next - but we all had a great time! I got lots and lots of gifts. The two biggies were a kitchen (from Grandma and Papa Eddie) and a table and chairs (from Yiayia and Papou). Mommy and Baba, of course, remodeled the basement...turning it into a play room (that's an AWESOME gift).

The Party Continues at School!

The party continued at school (check out the video of my friends signing happy birthday to me) where we had cupcakes and juice. Sugar - YUM! It was a fun time. Ms. Megan and Miss. Erica gave us hats and noise makers. Mommy and Baba even stopped by and surprised me. What a great day (so far), and the evening is still young!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Yep, I'm two today! Crazy how time flies. Mommy made a yummy breakfast this morning and I'm having a cupcake party at school this afternoon.

Baba tried to sneak balloons for my birthday party into the house this morning, but I caught him! Nice try, Baba. No fooling me.

Stay tuned to my blog for continuing coverage of "Katerina Turning Two."

Christos Anesti! Happy Easter!

We traveled to Rochester for Easter. It was fun. I spent time with Yiayia, Papou and Theo Strat. I went to church on Friday afternoon - and I didn't really behave; I went to church again on Saturday morning (we all took Communion) - and, again, I didn't really behave; and then Mommy, Babe and me went to church on Easter Sunday morning - Baba had us sit right up front...and I behaved (in fact, I was angelic). The lesson here, of course, is sit in the front row (duh, Baba!). Happy Easter everyone.

PS - Papou cooked a lamb on a spit. The lamb was delicious (yes, that's me standing behind the lamb on the spit!).
