My favorite small guy turned four years old on Friday. We took cake to his school and he had a little party with his class. Then on Friday night we did our own little party with an improvised L McQ**n cake (because if your child has been to 20 Mexican birthday parties in the past year he will ask you flat out where his L McQ**n birthday cake is and be curious why he doesn't have a pinata hanging up in the living room ...ahh Mexico we miss you!)
This year Little S is changing so much into a small person that I can't believe it. He has hair on his legs! He has big muscular legs now and he seems to have all these opinions about things and people which are surprising and funny.
Our gift to him this year is to calm down and stay put and find more family time where we work outside in our wonderful garden. We still hope he gets to see the world a little more with us. We have a few travel plans for the next few months and we realized that was a gift in itself so we didn't get him much, just drawing supplies and a stuffed animal. Luckily the slide I mentioned in the last post arrived on his birthday so he was feeling spoiled already and then on Sunday the same people dropped by with an entire swingset. He was overjoyed and we were too because we had priced them and had decided it was entirely out of our budget for now. Yay to nice neighbors who give you free stuff!
I've backposted an entry if you want to read about what happened in the weeks before we moved in to the house. (Scroll back a few posts if that link isn't working).

It's really great to have you back online! I've been checking regularly.
Glad you got your new (old) house. You were so lucky to get in right under the wire, considering how things are now.
Take care,
Aly
Yay! You're back!
Happy birthday little S! Sounds like he had a fabulous birthday!
And congratulations on the new old house. Best of luck working on it!
Happy Birthday to your big boy! The bit about the pinata had me laughing out loud.
