A Bigfoot Birthday

SlimJim turned four yesterday. It's always amazing how quickly a year goes by. Right now, he's into lots of boy things, but he two favorite things are Bigfoot and Gram. So for his birthday, we went to Gram and Grumpy's for a bigfoot birthday.

SlimJim's birthday weekend started out with all the fun things we do in NH, the backyard playground, trampoline, zipline, hot tub and a trip to the playground. On his birthday, he eagerly opened presents throughout the day. Being such a Bigfoot enthusiast, he requested a Bigfoot costume and slippers and couldn't wait to open them. Auntie Jen came for pizza and cake. I think SlimJim was the happiest with his birthday I've seen any of our kids.



SlimJim, we are so proud of you! You are the best big brother, always looking out for Mr.T. (as long as he isn't playing with something you want). You are always ready to make someone laugh or tell us a story, and your giggle is contagious! You are always ready for a challenge- daredevil, but also always ready for a cuddle. My favorite thing is when, out of nowhere, you say, "Mommy, I love you way, way, way, way, way much!" Happy Birthday Little Guy!

Butterflies


We hatched butterflies again this spring, as it is such an amazing transformation. The kids love watching the quick changes, and I still can't believe that a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis that the caterpillar magically assembles. It is just as awesome for me as the kids. And then letting them go... always so magical.
