so much to catch up on, but first… SIX!

I couldn’t imagine time going by any faster, but somehow it does and these little guys of mine, who haven’t been little in such a long time, turned six! We’ve been celebrating all week and let me tell you, they really know how to work the birthday angle too! After their second glass of chocolate milk or extra cookie requests get turned down, they quickly come back with, “well, it is our birthday.” I can’t say how much longer that is going to work for them, but for now, I’m still giving in. Plus, it gives me an excuse to have a second cookie too (heehee)!

I’ve been amazed at how well they’ve adjusted to a move across the country, a new home, a new school and the cold weather! And, I thought for sure not having a birthday party was going to be the end of the world, but celebrating with mom and dad turned out to be pretty awesome too!  Who knew?? The daily birthday packages and cards they’ve received from our amazing family and friends have really helped too!!

Besides the obvious changes a year brings (taller boys, longer hair), their career aspirations have slightly changed, A. who has wanted to be a race car driver for the last couple of years, asked me to look up online “how to be a ninja” and M., who has wanted to be an artist, now says he wants to be a bus driver. We’ll see what another year brings (maybe astronauts and veterinarians??). One thing that hasn’t changed though is their desire to have their pictures taken (see below). Clearly they’re impressed. HA!

Happy birthday to my sweet boys!
