birthdays, bubbles & Elmo

First of all... Happy Birthday Ethan! Today our friends, Kevin & Pam's son, Ethan turns the big ONE! I can't believe he's a year old already! His party was yesterday at his grandparents house & it was so much fun. Thankfully the weather was good as the party was outside. Rain threatened a couple of times but it held off. The kids had a great time playing in the bubbles from the bubble machine & with some of the (many) toys Ethan received as gifts. A good time was had by all!


Before the party we took Jonathan to The Learning Express to meet one of his favorite TV characters, Elmo! I was a little concerned the he might be frightened by the giant red muppet, but he wasn't at all. Here's he & I with Elmo!


Between Elmo & the party, while waiting for Chris' mom & Lisa to arrive, we let Jonathan play in the driveway with the "bubbees". This kid loves to be outside, and if there are bubbles involved, all the better.


Chris left this afternoon for a business trip at Callaway Gardens. While they'll be doing plenty of work related stuff, they also get to have some fun. Tonight they're Wii bowling, tomorrow is casino night and Tuesday they're golfing. This day has completely dragged by without him here. I miss you, babe! I hope you're having a good time!

Well, I'm pretty tired, so I think I'll hit the sack. I hate sleeping alone.
