Four Years Old

Easton and Catherine are officially four years old as of last Thursday. We had a week full of birthday surprises.

Before I go on with the details of the big day, we got an update on baby Addis today. “He is a man after my own heart! He loves his feet rubbed! When I would rub his feet he would hold them up in the air to make it easier for me! He would lay back and enjoy the moment! It was so cute! He is eating well and has an incredibly strong grip! I have a criticism though. He smiles way too much. So every time I go past him, I have to stop working and pick him up!” We are so glad that he gets so much love while he waits for us to go get him!

Last Sunday afternoon, we went with Lovey and Poppa to Branson. I bought Poppa a grande caramel macchiatto and he took care of everything else. I think it was a fair trade. The guy at the Starbucks drive-thru thought I was the nicest person ever, wanting to pay for the guy behind me in the line and all.

This is Sophia going through the hotel lobby. She insisted on dragging the suitcase ALL THE WAY to the room.


This is the train from the parking lot. Poppa has the rest of the pictures from the day, so we will post those at a later date.


On Friday, Aunt Marci, Cousin Mark, and Baby Seth came to visit. Mark put the princess dress on Sophie and asked her to dance with him. He is so smooth, just like his daddy. Right Josh?


Catherine LOVED baby Seth, which was encouraging as we are about to add another baby to our crew. She took care of him all weekend.


Check out Mark's sunburn after a day in the sun. He won't let you pick him up without saying "owie!"


The kids got new bikes for their birthdays which were a big hit. The helmets and knee pads came in handy on the first trip down the side walk.



The Poppas helped with the bike riding.
Happy Birthday Easton and Catherine!


And, for good measure, here is a funny picture of Sophia that will make your day.
