Sisterly Love


Okay, this picture pretty much sums it up. Although Ellie is younger, she kind of overpowers Chloe a bit. At least she's overpowering her with love- for now, anyway!

More Birthday Fun!

Hayden raked it in at Grandma's last night. A new, big Lego set, Star Wars book, some clothes- all big winners. Plus another cake. I guess the guy at the bakery had a bit of trouble with Hayden's name- note the "hayded" on the cake.

Birthday Boy!


Okay, I admit it. I've been very blistless lately. My apologies to our legions of fans out there. In my defense, I have had problems with blogger lately- notice the absence of a video that I've tried to post about 100 times. But no matter.

Hayden had a great birthday- 3 celebrations. How's that for good times? We had a quiet family night, then a big pirate party with an inflatable slide and even an erupting Volcano cake. (It didn't quite erupt as I had planned, but it did bubble and ooze.) Finally, the birthday extravaganza ended last night with a grandma-sponsored party with cousins and lots of presents. I'm exhausted just writing about it.
Happy Birthday, Hayden. We love you very much and you are the best 7 year old boy EVER.

Cousins and Friends

Emily is Chloe's favorite person in the whole world. They have so much fun together, and will play home or teacher or color pictures for hours. Since they are only 5 months apart in age, I hope they will be the best of friends their whole lives.
