Announcing the August Birthdays

Here are some pictures of the two birthdays we celebrated this last week--on August 22 Sam turned 17 and the next day Eden was 7.

We had a family celebration with cake, ice cream, and a new bike for Eden's day which was a Wednesday. I realized when I went to post the photos that the only one I had that was useable of Eden was this one. Blowing out the candles on her cake and riding the bike with Kaitlyn were video clips--I'll try to figure out how to post them.

Sam's party was a Saturday night dance with about 25 friends out on the deck (and in the livingroom, the diningroom, down in the family room, running around the perimeter of the house, you get the picture). They had a blast! I love the one of both of the boys dancing.

The Waning of The Babes

Eden lost a tooth yesterday.
"What should I do with my tooth?"
"Just put it here on the counter so I remember to tell the Tooth Fairy that you lost a tooth."
"Why don't you have Dad give me the money and then we can just throw it away."
Dad was sad.
Mom was a little sad.
Eden was glad.
