David turns 4!

Hi all,

Well, Bruffie did it, he turned 4 on November 11th. Next month he'll be with us 2 years. How time flies! Speaking of flies, David started "Lil' Sports" last week at a local recreation center with little friends Casey and George. What hilarious, adorable fun! The boys began t-ball last week. Take a look...

The coach runs the kids up and down the gym first, they walk backwards, pitch balls, then go to bat and actually run the bases. It's nonstop, giggling mayhem as the coach tries to control the very excited 3- and 4-year olds, who are running everywhere the bases! We love it. :)

Happy Birthday, Bruffie!

David woke up on his birthday wearing a big smile. We started the day with a rousing rendition of the Beatles singing "Happy Birthday", with the kids playing along on toy guitars. Later, David made a mosh pit of the couch.

Kevin bought David a giant pirate balloon that David adores. Interestingly, we've had several very windy days. So David wrapped the balloon around his waist and ran outside to wait for the wind to take him away just like Mary Poppins. We tried to explain the physics, but he didn't believe us! I just couldn't get a good picture of him, but it was priceless.

Thanks to everyone for the great cards and gifts. He loves his new dress-up costumes...sure beats wearing Emily's dresses! Papa and Rea, David's buying the Batcave with his gift certificate! Thanks to George and Jack for the cool Thomas Firehouse! We're surprised David hasn't slept with it!

Happy Birthday, David!!
