There's really no reason for this post.

Just thought you might need a little blonde, cute, pick-me-up. That's all.

"What color was Sam and Tonio's house, Mommy?"

This was Micah's first question to Kedron and me when we returned from our weekend trip to San Antonio.

Eli's Birthday Party!

We had a delightful time at Eli's Fire Truck Birthday Party. Eli was so good, in fact, that we almost forgot he was here! He just sat in his high chair quietly, ate well with no assistance, and enjoyed watching all his friends. Ahh, the joys of being the 2nd born.

Here I am restraining Micah so Eli actually has a chance to open his presents.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of Eli's big day. We enjoyed having all of you celebrate with us.

The adults at the party played a little game of our own: see how many songs you can think of with the word "fire" in the lyrics. Ryan R. cleaned house with twelve songs! People reading this who weren't at the party: what "fire" song lyrics can you think of? Maybe you'll come up with one that we didn't!

Backfire City

Friday night we went to La Casa to celebrate Eli's birthday (side note: he wanted to go to Burger King but we manipulated him into choosing La Casa. Totally worth it.). It was very busy when we arrived, and we had to stand and wait for a while. To keep Micah occupied, I thought I'd be a super Mom. So I asked him to find and point to something red. Then, find and point to something blue. And so on. Well, he did this pretty quickly, and I was running low on colors. So in a moment of brilliance, I asked him to find something grey. Imagine my elation when he pointed to an older lady standing quite close to us and shouted, "GREY HAIR!!"

La Casa older lady that we'll hopefully never see again, please forgive my 3-year-old and his stupid mommy.
