Time for Cake!  (This is what happens when you leave the cake unattended, Mike put the WHOLE package of candles on the cake, obviously no one told him about one candle for each year!)

First Full Week Home

Well, we have been home for over a week now.  The girls have enjoyed playing with their toys and friends.  We kept quite busy this week, we took some bike rides, went swimming in the backyard pool, went to the park, Megan took an art class, went shopping for things for Megan’s birthday party, went to the zoo, the beach, and more.

We have a tomato stealer!  The black squirrel was a little mad we were not giving him any peanuts so he went and stole an almost ripe tomato, I guess he (or she) taught a lesson!8.1.10 047

We went to the zoo on Saturday evening with Bob and Cristy, Mark, and Nathan for a members only event.  It was the perfect temperature for a trip to the zoo.  The girls LOVE Nathan, hopefully he doesn’t mind them torturing him!8.1.10 113 8.1.10 117 8.1.10 126 8.1.10 1298.1.10 137

After dinner tonight we headed down to the waterfront beach by our house to the let kids play in the sand, Annalyse has been dying to go to the beach.8.1.10 145

Tomorrow night we are having a “backyard campout” birthday party for Megan.  The weather is predicted to be good, hopefully no rain for the night in the tent, I may need a nap on Tuesday after sleeping in the tent with 6 girls!
