Sorry for the hiatus...getting back into the swing of things after being out of town.
Stay tuned for pics from our trip to NY.
His party seemed to last all day... When we got home from his party he played with his cousins Kenny and Chase, who were visiting from Texas, all afternoon. They played in the pool, played with Bakugans, built legos... In the evening, we all played the Wii before heading outside for a bon fire complete with roasted marshmallows!
Happy Birthday Buddy; I hope you had a fun day!
Happy Father's Day Daddy!
We love and miss you,

I have a funny story to share about our zoo trip that I'll share next...
