Birthday wrap up and busy week

What a week- after a 3-day weekend celebration for mommy's birthday, it was first year move-in day at Gettysburg - check out some of the cool pictures and videos that Mom and Dad have been working on:

You can also see some of the fun we have been having with birthdays and visitors below-
Paul learned how to blow out birthday candles- the concentration on his face was priceless. He didn't master singing "happy birthday" (despite Gram's efforts) but now pretends to blow out a candle if you say birthday, cake or candle.

We celebrated Mommy's 30th birthday all last weekend (and even last Monday) with lots of great dinners and company. Gram was home from the lake and Aunt Char was visiting as well- what a great time! Gram and Aunt Char were sneaky and even took some of the birthday decorations to mommy's office as a surprise (which it sure was!). There were some good versions of this picture taken, but daddy's face in the one above made us decide to post it. I'm sure you can tell why....

Paul is showing off his grill (still a favorite) and mommy asked him to "smile for the camera"- and this is what I got! I guess we have to work on that...
