HEY!! COME BACK!!!


"Come Back, Come Back, COME BAAAAAAAACCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!"

This is what I heard Ian yelling out the window this morning when the garbage truck came to take away the trash. The windows were open, and he was watching the truck come down the street. Then I heard the truck stop at our house and Ian started hollering "STOP, STOP (pause) "Hey! ComebackcomebackcomeBAAAKKKK" (Yes, all one word) at the top of his lungs when he saw them empty the trash into the truck. I had to laugh and then explain that we really DID want them to take our stinky garbage away! LOL

Birthday Boy

So ... I am SERIOUSLY late in posting details about Ian's Birthday. Gimme a Break, it's been two months. Although I'm cutting myself some slack considering the recent move. Long story short ... Our 3 yr old enjoyed quite the week of Celebrations.

First, was an early party with Papa & Grandma A The Sunday before his birthday. Ian helped decorate his little cake with a "fruit-loop-number-3". He got a new Geo Trax
train set which he and Campbell both have tons of fun with.

On his birthday (Tuesday), we had a little family party along with his friend Gabby's family. Instead of Cake, we did a strawberry ice-cream pie (I just could do another cake, knowing there would be cupcakes and cakes to come later in the week. ha..ha.)

Wednesday at Play Group, we had fun little monkey cupcakes... unfortunately, no pictures.

And finally, Saturday was a family party with family and friends ... Ian's cousin Marc celebrated his 9th birthday that week so we had lots of fun celebrating with him along with his folks, and brother Stuart from Tucson, Mimi & Honk, Aunt Mer, our friend Kit along with Gabby, Joy & Ty. We had two cakes, and Aunt Meredith made some amazing cupcakes -- chocolate/chocolate and peanut butter/chocolate. There were fab! She always makes the funnest cupcakes. We love them!! (her latest were choc. with peppermint... bliss. LOL)

It's hard to believe he's 3. time flies and it seams impossible that this little guy has traveled with us coast to coast, living in Philly, Phoenix, Roseburg and Florence. Seriously. More towns than years ... ( A record, for sure! LOL he's such a fun, yet mischievous little boy... greeting you with a "What are YOU doing here" when you surprise him ... and singing "I Wonder When He Comes Again" at a volume 10. when we rock at night. (of course, it's a vol 2 when he sings for anyone else... but always a "10" when we rock in the dark and Campbell's sleeping a foot away from us. But I don't mind because I think it's sweet that this is his favorite song). Someday when there's more time, I need to sit and detail the funny things these boys do... They are so much fun!
