My Friends!

It is Ian's birthday party.  Ian and I are opening cards and gifts.  We open the first card.  It is a cute outer space card.  Quite appropriate for my son.  We open the next gift and card.  Wow, it is the same card.  Now people are whispering and giggling.  Before we know it, there are five cards, all identical, purchased at different Targets at different times.  And it was not planned!  Needless to say, I think my friends know my son very well!   Thanks Jaime, Suzy, Amy/Jeff, Kacey/Ira, and Leslie! 

Mark's cousin James sent Ian a Happy Birthday message through YouTube.  We decided to send James one back. His birthday was 4 days later. 

Here is James' message to Ian. 




Here is Ian's message to James. 

He is three!

Ian turned 3 years old Saturday.  We had a nice turn out of company.  We missed having Grandma and cousins Shelby, Jake, and Addison.  The weather was beautiful.  And he was in perfect form for the party.  Here are the pictures and a little video from the big event. 

Our Little Doctor!

A few nights ago, Ian was playing in the playroom while Mark and I were in the office (adjacent room).  Ian comes over to me and says "I need to check you, Mama."  He is holding a stethescope I brought home for him.  He checks me.  He then says I have a boo-boo, and he needs to fix it.  I asked him what he needed to fix my boo-boo.  He says, "A hammer and a screwdriver, Mama!" 

He makes me sooo proud to be his Mama!  

  

Here we are at the park feeding the geese after our ritual of breakfast Sunday morning at the Georgia Diner.  

His New Toy

Yes, I am talking about Ian.  Friday is sleeping bag and flashlight day at daycare.  So Ian and I head out to ToysRUs to find him a sleeping bag.  Mission accomplished, but not before he is in the bike section trying out all the displays of riding toys and bikes.  They have a Toy Story scooter.  It is perfect, and he loves to ride scooters, so of course I could not resist.  Here are the rewards of my effort. 

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Well, the light dusting we were suppose to get yesterday, turned into four inches of snow.  I know that pales in comparison to the others further north up the Atlantic seacoast.  It just took us for surprise.  Most of the snow fell between 1:30pm and 8:00pm. The pictures towards the end show a lot more snow than the earlier pictures. It was beautiful!  I just hate being housebound.
Here are our pictures of the event.
