I have now been officially blogging for one year! Andrew rang in his fourth birthday yesterday with lots of fanfare. After a pretty low-key celebration last year, we made sure his fourth birthday would definitely be one to remember. He had a party with several of his friends from school and a few family friends at AirZone, an indoor inflatable playground - what a hoot! Everyone was sweaty and full of sugar by the time they left! He requested a Speed Racer theme and got some very nice gifts to match - it's amazing how many different toys can result from one movie/show!
On his actual birthday, he got to stay home from preschool and hang out with Mommy and Thomas all day - a real treat! We played outside in the morning before the intense heat hit, then made our way to the library to pick out some books and enjoy the AC. Later, it was lunch at McDonald's, burning calories in the indoor playground then a very entertaining Ronald McDonald magician. He watched his favorite movie, "Cars," in the afternoon, then we took him to dinner at his favorite restaurant, Red Robin. He opened gifts (more Speed Racer gear!) and hit the sack. Given his rare over sleeping this morning, I think I sufficiently wore him out! We had a blast, though, and it was so great to get to spend his special day with him.
Other news this week, Madeline is officially two months old! She had her check up with the pediatrician and is now 12 lbs. 2 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. She's in the 90th and 75th percentiles and growing! She got her first big round of shots and has been fussy and obviously sore this afternoon. It breaks my heart to hear her cry and know she's uncomfortable, but keeping her healthy is worth it.
More later!

Would you have room in your family for a 62 year old kid. Sound like fun!
