Birthday Party!!

Hannah had to be on here somewhere...wardrobe change.
Silly boy!

Sydney with her cousin David.

She loved it when everyone sang to her...and she sang along

Erica with Luke.

Jane with Evan. Notice the destruction of the playroom.

Hannah eating babyfood for the first time. She didn't really get into it too much. I'll probably wait a while longer.

Sydney in her big girl bed for the first time!

Well, the party was a huge success. A big thank you to my parents and my aunts who all helped and brought some food. Just like last year the food was delicious! And thanks to our friends and family who were able to make it--Sydney had sooooo much fun. And, of course, thank you to everyone for Sydney's gifts.

Scott's brother Dave and his three boys came to the party. We hadn't seen them since right after Hannah was born. They have all grown so much. It is so hard for Scott and I to believe that David is a 7th grader now and Zack is right behind him. And that Jakey is in kindergarten!! Crazy! The first time that I met Dave and Kari and the boys, Jake was a newborn and David and Zack were little boys. Time is flying!! The boys play so good with Sydney and Evan. They are such good boys.

We are looking forward to taking Sydney trick or treating this weekend--I am hoping for warm weather. Jenna and Corrie are coming over to our neighborhood so that we can take the kids together. And then they are off to Green Bay for the Packers-Vikings game.

And mark your calendars for the 28th of November. that is when Hannah will be baptized. She is so excited!

Please continue to pray for my Uncle Gene, he has been in so much pain lately.
