A decade!!

That's how long it's been since our first baby boy was born!! Wow, that's hard to believe!!! John-William is 10 now and he's becoming quite a young man, not a little boy anymore. He is getting ready to move out of the room he shares with Jackson and into his own room, he has braces, he had his first sleepover with friends (not just cousins), he's counting down the time until he gets his driver's license and so much more!! I just can't believe he's growing up so quickly!! I'm very proud of him, though. He is doing well in school, is a wonderful son, a great friend and a very caring big brother!! Happy Birthday, John-William! I love you!

Michael's Birthday Party

John-William's birthday is quickly approaching and I haven't posted pictures from Michael's party yet, so I thought I'd better do that. We had his party at a local park on a beautiful, but hot, sunny day. When we planned it, the weather forecast was for the temperature to be about 81. On the day of the party, however, it was actually about 91. And humid!!!! It was so hot, in fact, that the candles on the cake melted without ever being lit!! The ice cream turned into a milk shake in no time at all, but we still had a good time.

The cake and the melted candles:






We had lots of little boys (and one little girl!) come to Michael's party. Can't you tell they were having fun???
