Birthday Celebrations!!!!!

     This lucky boy had three birthday celebrations with family this week! One at Gram and Grandpa's, one at Gigi's house and another with EVERYONE at our home! When I put him to bed the night before his birthday party, I said, "We're going to have a great day tomorrow," and he said, "A Happy Birthday!"

Could not wait for these cars to get out of the box!

He grabbed a fork and took a bite before we were even finished singing!

 

     We had a great time celebrating this sweet boy, but it's been a very difficult week for both of us. We're finally feeling better, a week later. I've been sick for about 5 days. He had a bad reaction to amoxicillin, with a horrible rash that actually turned into bruising. I won't post those pictures. It was very, very scary. The doctor ordered blood tests STAT, which was also extremely scary. Everything turned out to be ok and all is normal. God is good.
