Next was my birthday. I told Jesse this was my last one since I never wanted to be 35. We took Jesse's folks to Anchorage to catch their plane so they took us out to diner. It was excellent. This is what the kids gave me.

let's move to October

October is a busy birthday month for us. First in Don's. He loved his cake. Don is the first of our children toblow out the candles on their second birthday. When we could keep his brothers away he had a blast opening and playing with his gifts.

Do you have a minute?

Okay maybe I'll do this in a few posts. September was a time of great trial as far as adjusting to school and getting ready for my in-laws to visit. Their visit was very nice. We were able to help celebrate Bob's 78th birthday. Grandma took the older kids to Anchorage to go to Chuck E. Cheese and the waterpark. They all had a great time. September was also Rachel's 3rd birthday. She is fully potty trained now and she is my biggest helper. As you can see she is leading her brother to show his femenine side.
