She is finally back in drum lessons! Big day!

We had Blake over to play! The boys know that he is thirsty after school so the first order of business was to tank him up on water. We are so thankful for the unconditional love, happiness and spark that Blake brings to our family. He has helped us all learn a sweet kind of love and compassion. We love him!

Ski day with Kevin!

Liza was surrounded by family and friends who bathed her in love all day. Highlights were: visits from Papa, Abba, Kate and cousins, Sam, drawings from her brothers, brunch with Kevin, and her girlfriends decorating her room, baking her cookies and a uprising her by jumping out of her closet! Maybe Sunday birthdays aren't as bad as she once thought they were.

Liza and I did some pre-birthday celebrating with a lunch at Fuji Sushi where we brainstormed about ways she can earn money at home this year. Then we got to go birthday shopping! We kept our lifetime Bath and Body tradition and found the sale of the century so were so excited! We also got to go to Nielsens late that night for ice cream. We are party animals!

Yes, Dane is also only 8 years old!
