Best. Slip 'N Slide. Ever.

Leave it to an awesome family of second generation unschoolers to have the biggest (and best) slip n' slide we've ever seen! The only way yesterday could have been any more fabulous would have been if David didn't have to work and could have been there with us to join in the fun. He truly would have been in his glory! Thanks for including us in such a fun filled birthday celebration yesterday, friends! It was indeed one for the history books!

A Little More Birthday Fun

Dave's parents came up to celebrate Emma's birthday this past weekend.  They brought with them another curvy board ('cause really, if you have two kids you totally need two boards!) and we settled in for a wonderful weekend visit.  It was a laid back weekend, full of lots of wonderful conversation, good food and sweet memories being made.  Plans were discussed (James Taylor at Tanglewood this summer) and wisdom shared.  It was just what we needed.  And the child who really did not want to turn four?  Well, she was beyond excited to have one more cake and celebrate one more time with more family.  By the end of the weekend she was asking that her birthday never end.  Clearly, she has seen the light and is now a believer in the birthday month (taking another cue from her Aunt Kaitlyn)!  Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for such a wonderful weekend!  We'll see you soon.  

Painted Ladies

It's a week of birthday partying for us!  Another one of the girls friends turned five today and invited us to join in the birthday fun at a local playground.  We are loving these outdoor birthday parties, and even better, the birthday families seem to be scoring incredible days for such special events!  Once Emily was done setting up, and the facepainter was ready as well, Emily came to see if Grace would be willing to get her face painted first.  Clearly she knew who her go to girl was!   She barely finished the words "face painted like a fairy" before Grace hightailed it over there.  You don't have to ask her twice!

Happy fifth birthday, sweet girl!

It was a glorious day!  The perfect way to celebrate turning five! May the next five years be as blessed and full of magic and wonder as the past five have been!  Enjoy your special day, friends!
