Happy Birthday Ethan and Claire!

6 YEARS OLD! Can you believe it! I think they have both had a good day today. We woke up nice and early and jumped on Dad to wake him up so they could open their presents. They had pancakes for their birthday breakfast, and pizza for their requested birthday supper. This year they both wanted a dinosaur birthday cake, so that's what they got! You'll see pictures below. It was a beautiful day here, so they had a nice walk this afternoon. Since today was Sunday, I took them to a movie yesterday afternoon: Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Ethan single-handedly ate all but the head of his dinosaur cake today. I told him he was going to have bad diarrhea. His response, "Yep. I am!!" He didn't seem to mind. It's nice to see them get bigger and watch them learn and grow. Claire has really blossomed since starting Kindergarten. Ethan keeps getting taller and taller. He is a good boy, and is enjoying his new friends at school. Thanks to all for your thoughtful gifts and phone calls today. You have helped make their birthday special and happy for them.
Look at those BIG KIDS!!





Claire got rollerskates for her birthday. She went down a couple of time right on her bottom! So, we wrapped her in bubble wrap!





Jane was a good girl today. She really liked the remote control cars and really wanted to get her little hands on them! Ethan and Claire are getting better and better with Jane and seem to almost like sharing with her. Otherwise, she sat back and took it all in, or grabbed a toy when someone put it down to do some thing new! I like this picture of her...too bad about those little red eyes.
