So Big, So Fast














Yes, it is true! Our baby boy turned three years old on the 15th. It is amazing to us that these last three years have gone by so quickly. I hear that it only goes by quicker as they get older...hard to believe but I am sure it is true.

As you can see, our lil' man of the day chose a Thomas and Friends birthday party. This little engineer is overtaken with trains. He barely participated in the other activities at the party because he was so consumed with his new train table full of his favorite steam engines. It was not easy but we were able to pry him away to blow out his candles and open his gifts. We were all blessed to have close family and friends around us to celebrate our sweet boy.

I do believe fun was had by all, painting trains, making steam out of cotton balls, playing pin the number on Thomas, and playing outside. All of the lil' engineers took home their train painting, train whistles, balloons, stickers and more! Happy Birthday to Evan, we love you to the moon and back...and farther. You are truly a gift from God.

Meeska, Mooska



It's Mickey Mouse! And Minnie, too, of course!

Both of them had a fun time dressing up as two of there favorite characters.
They were great sports and left their costumes and accessories on without a fight. We had a busy night visiting six different homes of family, friends, and teachers.

Our parents spoil them and love having fun doing it. So not only did they get candy, they also received treats that were far to big to fit into their Halloween baskets.

Some of there most favorite Halloween treats were: the Mickey and Minnie that teaches them shapes, colors, and letters; their dollar bills; Evan loved his apple; M&Ms; books; popcorn; and whales.
