Happy Birthday Party!

Josiah was slightly confused at first because he thought it was a party for Micah and not for him (because Micah's birthday was more recent? I'm not sure the cause).

Micah, upon seeing the cake, wanted the cars (zhhhhhooo, he calls them, after the sound cars make) off IMMEDIATELY. This reminded me of Will wanting the fire engine his 1st (or 2nd?) birthday cake was upon . . .

Here's Jim's foot. The swelling had gone down a little Sunday, but hadn't really improved much today today (Monday), so we went to get an X-ray, and thankfully, no break. Just a big ol' strain.




Hmm. Now it's mine and Josiah's turn to have foot pictures for this blog . . .

From Jim's sister, our beloved Aunt Kristen in Hong Kong:







So we had our Birthday Party today! Lots of friends, fun, and Jim sprained his ankle early on, so he got out of a lot of random assignments from me . . . .

:( it's actually a pretty bad sprain. He sprained it after like 5 seconds of playing football with two 4th-5th graders . . . . What an old man!

I think we survived the party, with only a normal amount of melt down, post festivities.
