Charlie and I stopped by the Apple store the other day and Charlie made himself right at home. First he made a new friend, and then the two of them went to work on this computer.

It's hard to focus on much besides Izzy's beautiful rainbow birthday cake...     But there were other aspects of the party that I really enjoyed as well.   I loved the idea of using baby food jars to decorate for Izzy's first birthday when I saw this post . In the interest of time and my waning energy, I decided to simplify this idea.
