We went to a really fun birthday party at a farm in Chapel Hill. Colin was having a good time. He just likes to torture me when I try to take his picture.

More OBX

Of course, we spent lots of time at the beach. The whole visit was somewhat tempered with the knowledge that my mom did not have a lot of time left. It made it more special, and harder at the same time.

T-Ball

Another t-ball season (Ethan's last) has come and gone. He had a great time and definitely improved over last year.

Happy Birthday, Ethan!

Ethan's last day of school was also his 7th birthday. We celebrated the whole weekend, starting with donuts Saturday morning.

Ethan wanted a snake cake for his birthday. I was happy to oblige him. This cake was actually really fun to make. One of his presents was a nerf gun, which he used to set up a "Top Shot"-inspired challenge. He loves that show. We don't do birthday parties for "odd" years, so we had some friends over to help us eat the cake. Ethan also had his second annual hip hop recital the day after his birthday. He did great, as usual! Ethan is sweet, smart, a great Lego builder/designer, very sensitive and just a great kid all around. We love him so much and are so lucky to have him in our family.

Last Day of School

First grade was great! Lunch out to celebrate a successful year.
