Birthday Month

Birthday month started out with a great big thumbs down but ended with thumbs up. The beginning of the month started out with Joshua being sick. He had strep throat that we could just not get ahold of. 2 different rounds of antibiotics and what the Dr's think was a touch of Scarlet Fever. WOW, Mommy and Daddy were sure happy when that sickness went away.

The boys were a little spoiled this year when it came to celebrations for their Birthday. In total they had 5 events that revolved around them. A first for them was a their special day at school complete with cupcake cones. A friends/cousins party at Kehlers, a family party complete with a Mickey Mouse cake. Their actual birthday which landed them at the Circus and then an ice cream cake at church. We have ourselves some pretty special little boys.

All this and a visit from Aunt Shelby, Grandpa and Karen. Aunt Shelby stayed all week with us and did all kinds of fun stuff. We went to the Please Touch Museum, we went sledding and we played played played. When Grandpa and Karen got here we went to Pat's (the boys had their first taste of a REAL Cheesesteak).

All and all it was a busy but fun month. The boys have so many new toys to play with in and outside. We have a new Pirate Water Table, a sandbox, a 4 wheeler and more Sesame Street Knex sets to build. We are keeping ourselves very busy. We can't wait until we can take all our new toys into our backyard and set them up to play, for now we are playing with them in the house without the main ingredients (water and sand).

Thank you to everyone who was able to share in some part of our birthday celebrations and for those of you who could not we sure did miss you.
