Happy 36th Birthday Lou!

Unfortunately, I had to keep the kids up past their bedtime to be around to celebrate their busy daddy's birthday (we appreciate all his hard work to provide for us-although I reminded him that he was the boss and could schedule himself out for his birthday--oh well)! He had lots of help blowing out his candles (shaped in the number 36--we didn't want to start a fire!). I made a butter pecan cake with burnt butter frosting and chopped pecans on top! We tried to have a nice meal without the kids since he came home so late. It was nice even though certain 7 & 5 year olds kept gracing us with their presence after they were supposed to be in bed.

Isaiah's new babysitter! THE COUCH! I've found that he's smart enough to avoid going over the edge on accident, so he will play for quite a while on the couch before he starts to get anxious to get off. And then when he's tired of it, he's figured out how to go off head first--very carefully--onto the strategically placed pillows on the floor.

Well Mom, I tried. This is nowhere near as cute as the picture I inadvertently deleted. But, she loves her "rabbit." :)
