Donovan was born! He had a great birthday on Saturday. He had some friends over, and Mom and Dad cooked up burgers and dogs for all of the guests. It was a great day, with no stress to speak of. All of the children behaved very well and all of them had a great time playing Sing Star, Corn Hole, and whatever other games they could make up themselves.
Yesterday the three of us went down to the boat ramp to catch some fish with Donovan’s new fishing pole (Thanks, Uncle Buster!) before the Jaguar game. On the way back to the house we stopped and chatted with some neighbors. It was there that Donovan really wanted me to pull his loose tooth. I obliged, of course. Here he is, our 7 year old snaggle tooth:
I just can’t believe he is 7. I know you can’t either as Ethan turns 5 on Sat & I am flipping out about that in a very tearful way. He is starting school!!! My god, why do we have children if they’re just going to grow up on us all quick? Thinking about #2 actually, you guys?
We’re open to it, though we are not doing anything major to make it happen. Just watching her cycle and seeing what happens. Man they sure do grow up so fast! Parenthood is joyous though, through and through. Cheers!
