Micah's Birthday

Here is Micah's party, which was a garden theme. He was rather serious all day, (we won't call it grumpy, it WAS his birthday!) He chose to have a small party, which is still bigger than most, since our best friends have 6 siblings in the family :-). He had hoped to have a duck pond and invite the ducks to come, but he had to settle for a visit at Olive Garden this year (leaving his birthday dinner, the ducks were in the parking lot :-)).

I can't believe Micah is Four. He is such a unique and wonderful boy. He loves all flowers and plants and sprinklers and lights (of course, that has NOT changed). We think he may end up a landscape designer someday . He loves to draw and most all of his pictures include some or all of the above mentioned favorites. He also loves to ride his bike (just upgraded to Daniel's old bike!) and play on his swings. Micah, we love you!!!
The cake and ice cream...
complete with soil and worms...

Very seriously passing out each child's cake


















After cake we potted marigolds which each of the kids took home with them. Micah chose the flowers VERY carefully :-).


Gardening is dirty work!

Gramps and Joel

Micah's present--loud kids and Micah's typical reaction

the boys
After the crowds left--let summer begin!!

Can they be ANY CUTER?!!!

not this one, not if he tried.


And I just love this random shot of Daniel's freckles and eyelashes :-)
more to come...

I love these pictures! Micah might as well be Daniel in that third picture down--for how big he is. And the shot is far enough away you can hardly tell the difference between the two of them. Joel is adorable! They all are!

Miss you guys tons. xoxoxo
