1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..15..16..17..18..19....twenny! (Why stop at three when you know--mostly--how to count to twenny?)

Jump!

Then bury the boy!

Then bury the girl!

Fall is fun.

Three!

Yes, we have a newly-minted three-year-old in our house. It's pretty exciting. I mean, he's been telling us that he's a big boy for a while now, but now he has the numbers to back it up. We had a great day celebrating the occasion. Green eggs and oatmeal for breakfast.


For months (I exaggerate not.) Nathan had been requesting "a chocolate cake shaped like a green number N--with green frosting and the chocolate on the inside." So Mommy delivered.

And cozy new pj's and a cool new water bottle!


Quite a day! He spent most of the day jumping up and down. It's possible he was excited and enjoying himself...very possible. Happy birthday, sweet big boy Nathan!

Bath time!

No, we never get silly around here. Why do you ask?

Five

I neglected to mention that we celebrated a very significant birthday a couple of weeks ago. Count these candles!

We had some of Rachel's friends over for a party and made our own candy necklaces.
Her favorite presents included a long-coveted big-kid booster car seat and a cozy robe. (Note the adoring look she's giving the booster!)



How has it been five years? We love our Rachel Baby!
