Birthday boy breakfast: waffles with chokecherry syrup, raspberries, and milk.
I picked Blake up early from daycare, and we headed to the mall. He got chocolate milk, a special toy, and $6.00 on the rides. His favorite is always the Superman Train. It's faster than a speeding bullet, you know.
Wearing his birthday crown, playing with his John Deere tractors from Grampa.
Surprise visit from the Jordan family (Chase seen here, plus the corner of Ryan's head). They brought us birthday TacoTime and chocolate ice cream!
The weekend party - my folks came up for the afternoon party. We started with two friends at McDonald's in the tunnel and slide area. By the time we finished lunch, hordes of other small children descended, and we broke for naps. Everyone reconvened at our house, the Myers grandfolks and Schuylers came, and we had cake and a few presents. This is Mohawk Mason chilling with Papaw.
Birthday Mud Pie! The kid has great taste. Also, I redirected from "a blue one" to "one with ice cream." He loved it and had two helpings.
The only shot I got of all two mini-guests (forgot my camera for McDonald's). Ellese is on the left, Tjabe is on the right. They later regaled us with a parade from Blake's room to the kitchen and back. And forth. And back. Everyone was, of course, riding or pushing sort of wheeled contraption.
New birthday jam-jams from Grammie. I don't know what he's watching, but he's content.
"Why, yes. Yes, I AM Superman."
We got to babysit Tjabe the other day, and they were happy as could be reading quietly in Blake's room. I was also happy as could be, watching trashy movies and drinking in the living room. Excellent.
Blake, snuggled into snoozing Grampa. It was dear to see how he recognizes his grandfolks, and he was pretty attached to Grampa in particular. I don't think Steve minded. Much. Also, you can see my most recent haircut efforts. I was going for a mohawk, but ended up with a jarhead.
Cheerful, beautiful faces, making dinner. From left to right: Margie, Rachel, Erin.
Rachel and Erin were big hits, playing car wash with Blake as he dashed back and forth, his hair standing straight on end due to static.
Blake and Grammie G - he's got his eye on the waffle she's making for him in the hotel.
We have lots of trucks. Also, a very smoochable little man.

Can I get a pronunciation key for Tjabe? And also the mud pie recipe? It is Chad's favorite! We still want to come up for a weekend and work on the condo too. Chase gets married this weekend and then we will have to talk and plan. Love you!!
