This weekend we celebrated Gavin's 4th birthday at Leapin' Lizards in Decatur. He had such a blast!!! All his friends from school came and they ran around for about an hour and a half. I bet we had a bunch of thankful parents later- those kids were probably ready to pass out afterwards!

My brother came in town with his wife- it was a nice visit with them. It's been awhile since we just hung out together. Jeff and I finished off the weekend trying to put together Gavin's new swingset. Ok, word of advice for parents out there- HIRE SOMEONE TO PUT TOGETHER YOUR CHILD'S SWINGSET. Not fun- 'nough said.

Since Gavin's birthday isn't officially until tomorrow, we've saved a couple of presents for him to open. I might get a couple more cupcakes...celebrate a little more. You know, it's hard to explain to a 4 year old that even though they celebrated their birthday, it's not actually for a couple of days.

Happy Monday!

Again- been awhile cyber-world, good to be back!

The little guy is turning 4 next week...FOUR. How do I already have a 4-year old? They don't lie when they say "time flies." Gavin is so excited- we're throwing him a party at a place called Leapin' Lizards in Decatur. Just about all of his class is coming! He's totallly into Scooby Doo these days so, of course, we're going with the Dane himself as a theme. My brother and his wife are also coming into town- can't wait to see them! I think everyone's staying at Hotel Stevenson Saturday night- should be a blast. Guess I ought to stock up on some libations...hmmmm....

I promise, I'll try to be more attentive...I have moments while driving where I think of catchy, witty stories to tell, then I get home and reality starts.
