{lang turns 2!}

june 2-3, 2012

my nephew, langdon, who we lovingly call either lango or lang, turned 2 on may 29.  since the family wasn't there on the actual day, we celebrated this past weekend in lexington.

lexington is a quaint little town in the mountains of virginia, about an hour southwest of charlottesville.  i absolutely LOVE visiting here - the scenery is beautiful and there is just enough to do to keep entertained.  my sister and brother-in-law have a beautiful house with a beautiful view of the mountains, and it is so easy to relax here (and not do your hair or put on makeup as you'll probably notice in the photos).  

 first stop was lunch at frank's.  i made the mistake of teaching lang to make funny faces in photos, and this was all he did for a while...

   since lindsay, matt, and evie were in tucson and couldn't be there with us, we opened presents over skype (you may be able to see linz and evie in the computer in the photo above).

and then we celebrated with stop sign cake!  

i have to admit (brag?) that my gift turned out to be lang's favorite because it has a "wa-wa" (windshield wiper) that actually moves. 

the rest of the weekend we spent a lot of time riding in the polaris, sitting in all of the different cars and turning on the windshield wipers, walking to the mailbox, walking to the stop sign and feeding it berries, picking dandelions, pushing the bubble lawn mower, reading books, and saying "okay!" and "of course."  

it was such a great weekend in virginia with family, and i'm so excited that i'll get to meet my second nephew during my next visit to lexington in september! 

and so my other sister doesn't feel left out, i'll end with a recent photo of the berkmans.  we missed you guys and can't wait to see you in september!
