Happy Birthday Apollo! Big 4

I have been decorating shirts for Christmas. Apollo wanted to make his own. Turned out cute.

Preschool field trip to the petting zoo.

Apollo's Birthday Bash.

Seth dressed up like Marlon. Beautiful fam.

Apollo's b-day gift. Last night during gratefuls he said he was thankful for his presents. I know these pics are hard on the eyes. Apollo likes to pick his own outfits and run out to surprise me (Annie does the same thing). Today he was so happy that he could get his socks on by himself.

Even though Annie has her own double bed, she and Apollo sleep in Apollo's new bunkbeds. They love it. We can hear them laughing and talking in bed. Apollo passes out first and Annie rolls around until she falls asleep.

New skates.

I have been making (and freezing) cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for weeks preparing for Apollo's party. He has been receiving gifts from others and packages in the mail. Annie kept bringing up how she would have a party too. The other day in the car, after Apollo received a package, she said "Annie's present?" many times, even after I explained it was Apollo's. She later said, "I don't want Apollo's party" and that she wanted Annie's party. So, we got her some skates too.

Annie and I worked on letter C this week. Poor girl had a rough week-we were up all night with her throwing up. One time after Carleton had helped her barf and get settled, she said "Sweet Dreams Daddy."

These pictures are for Heidi and Ken and others who wanted to see how the grass is doing.

Apollo and Annie are very good play buddies. Yesterday they were playing with cars and talking to each other like they were the cars. With cars facing each other, Annie's "car" said to Apollo's "car", "Thanks for being my friend." Imagine this with Annie's sweet high little voice.

Carleton's highlight of the week: Fun seeing Apollo so happy at soccer.
Robyn's: Staying up late (after a barf night with Annie and throwing Apollo's b-day bash) singing with Carleton as he played the guitar.
