We Are SO BLESSED!!!

WOW!!! We are so BLESSED!! Look at all these adorable children in this picture! There are a few that did not make it over to the picture but I can say, it makes a mom really proud to have her kids surrounded by so many of their friends that love them. First I want to say it was so nice that my sister and her little boy could make the 9 hour drive to Cumming from Ohio to be here for this special party. I know to work on Friday and then make that drive with a 5 year old and then turn around and do it again on Sunday that had to be tough!!! It was so great to have all of my siblings together and of course my mom being there is always a huge help and very special!! Eric's family was able to celebrate with us and as always we are so grateful for their involvment in the boys lives!! It was so neat to take a step back and think about all the different relationships that were represented in that room. Family and friends some that we have known forever and some friends that we have not known that long. Each one so special though!! Thank you to everyone that was there!! It really means a lot to us! As we got home after the party and began to open the gifts, we were overwhelmed by how generous you all are!!! Those of you that have kids that were there on Sat. thank you for bringing them and letting them share this special day with us!!! Those of your that could not make it to the party, we missed you!!!

We ended the evening by having our families over for dinner and to let Parker do the traditional smashing into the cake so I will leave you with a picture from that!! And believe it or not as soon as he was done filling his little body full of his own little cake he went right to bed and fell right to sleep. Now that is a good baby!!

Before I close I want to ask everyone to say a little prayer for Caleb tomorrow morning around 9 he is going in to have his tubes redone and his adnoids removed. We hope that all goes well and that he recovery is not too bad. He has gone through the tubes part before and did great with that! The hardest part will be that he can not eat or drink anything in the morning before his surgery!! Now trying to explain that to a three year old is not going to be easy! Especially since the first thing out of his mouth in the mornings is "I want a pop tart." I will try to post tomorrow night and let you all know how he does!!
