Glücklicher Dritter Geburtstag, Meridian!
Meridian turned three on May 26. I’m reporting on it late, but thank goodness the celebration itself was on time. 
Not only that, but she had a blast, mainly due to my wife’s creativity. We had a handful of friends over, and Dawn had prepared various paint stations in the back yard. Every kid received a colorful smock and got to paint a tote bag — not just with paint brushes, but with cool implements like Koosh balls, mini cars with oversized tires, and of course fingers! They got to wallpaper a good-sized castle made from appliance boxes. I did face painting … but Meridian wanted her butterflies painted on her feet, so that’s what I did (can’t see that in the picture, but hey, everything is forgotten when a kid gets a new bike!).

Painting stations… what a great idea! Now i just need to find someone to reproduce with. : )
Enjoy the blog, thanks for the great info.

Dave,
Thanks, man! Heh, don’t lose hope on the reproduction business.

Wow. I never thought I’d find anyone who shared my name. (I found this by Googling “Meridian loves” and clicking the first link.)

Meridian,
Ha! Yeah … we spent quite a bit of time deciding on our daughter’s name, and have occasionally been surprised to find other people with the same. But it’s still rare!
