Happy Birthday Irby!

We had Irby's birthday today (a little late because I was sick with a terrible virus last Sunday, his birthday.  I didn't think Irby would make his friends(or their parents) happy if everyone got sick at his party, so we postponed it until today.  It turned out to be great because the sun was out and the cherry blossoms were in bloom!)  We had a little get together at the park because our little apartment is soooo teeny and doesn't really hold more than 4 adults.  I figured 10 kids in here would be even worse.  The park was PERFECT, and I was so happy to see Irby having so much fun!  (I was feeling kind of sad having his birthday party in this new place where we're just making new friends and with family so far away, after having so many dear friends and family come celebrate Irby last year.  But Irby's new little friends and their parents came and celebrated with him like he was their oldest and best friend.  He (and we) felt so loved!)   The park near our house is called Lincoln Park, it has 2 playgrounds an lots of dogs running around to look at; loads of fun.  Of course, I didn't get everyone's picture, and I didn't take as many as I would have liked, but here are a few pictures from the big afternoon.
