We had a really fun week with lots of time outside. It got up to a blessedly beautiful 70 degrees and we were all really happy to enjoy being outside. We hit up parks, went on walks (or dinosaur-seeking adventures depending on who was in charge), jumped on the trampoline, and tried to soak up as much sun time as possible.
We sent Roy off to New York for 36 hours so he could take notes for a work meeting. He was happy to wake up his birthday morning at the Waldorf Hotel--that will probably be the fanciest place he'll ever spend his birthday. He got home just in time to celebrate with chicken tostados, cherry chocolate birthday cake, and presents. Abby gave him a bright green lunch bag. I'm not sure if that was upgrading his current panda bear lunch bag, but Roy graciously said thanks. Abby picked out the lunch bag weeks ago and was anxiously counting down the days until his birthday. We wrapped the present a couple weeks ago and she kept showing Roy the gift and it's hiding place.
Sam has recently gotten really into dressing up. The poor kid doesn't have many cool boy options of dress-up clothes. He loves to wear Abby's tiara, necklaces, and her fancy red church shoes. He loves to have things on his head. He's not a fan of hats, of course. Just headbands and girly stuff.
Abby attended her first big kid birthday party (meaning parents didn't have to stay). It was Fancy Nancy-themed and she came home decked out in a crown, feather boa, necklace, and rings. This is her pre-party picture. Can you see the excitement? She was so tired when she got home that she crashed on the couch.
Roy has the Bar this week. We'd appreciate any extra prayers for him on Tuesday and Wednesday. We are proud of him for sticking with it a second time around and quite excited to be done with all the studying. I have a to-do list waiting for him!
