Birthdays

I really don't know why it's so incredibly hard for me to post things out of chronological order, but I'm not doing a very good job of catching up so I'd better just pick up again with what's been going on lately.

Sam turned 7 at the end of August. He had a friend come over to play and then we went to Gattitown (like Chuck E. Cheese's) for pizza and mayhem. I think he had a great time and is very excited about playing with his new Legos (I'm probably supposed to put a trademark or copyright symbol on that word, but I don't know how to make them, so consider yourselves warned that the word Lego is proprietary).

About 8 days later, it was Abby's 3rd birthday. We went down to Cypress to visit some friends we hadn't seen in a long time because their daughter turned 6 on the same day. It's funny how the little present that you throw in at the last minute that is cheap and wasn't on your list is usually the one the kids get most excited about. For Abby it is a box of "Dora games" that includes Dora Bingo, Dora Go Fish and a Dora puzzle. What more could a little girl want, really? Forget the new bike!
