Birthday Photos (and beyond)!

Micah is very excited about his new age. Just ask him his name, age, or birthday and his reply to all three inquiries will likely be, "I'm free" [translation = three]. It was so nice to have his birthday fall over Labor Day weekend - daddy had an extra day off, and the whole weekend was filled with birthday fun!

Daddy took us out to breakfast one morning, and Micah got a gigantic Mickey Mouse pancake (though he nearly choked on it - still praising God for that recovery!)

Took a family walk later that day and spotted some deer.

The next two days we got to see the whole Ruth fam (and Brad).

We ate some goodies (Papa specifically got this for Micah). :-)

Some of us played catch outside.

Nearly all of us tried our hand at fishin' for a bit.

The next day we re-convened at Papa and Mama's again, Micah opened some gifts.

Micah really enjoyed blowing out the candles and we all ate a little sugar-free banana cake (though the frosting was all powdered sugar...)

We enjoyed the great outdoors again and played some Ladder Ball:

The birthday fun continued into the week, as Micah received this birthday card from great g'pa and g'ma Ruth (he ripped open the envelope, got excited about the "Cars" characters, handed me the check, and reached for his blue marker to color away...)

He's been enjoying his "monster trucks" from g'pa and g'ma Ruth all week. He's found a good purpose for his new Tonka - collecting acorns. Don't worry, squirrels, we've got PLENTY more where that came from, no need to fret over this small amount in a kid's toy truck. :-)

Do you mean the card from g'pa and g'ma Sovilla? Or was it the one from the Ruths? I'm glad he had such a great day!

I don't think I got ours sent out in time to get there by his birthday. I sent it Sunday so it wouldn't go out till Monday and the post office here (at Tahoe) only goes once a day (in the afternoon) so it probably didn't get there by his birthday...should be there by now though.
(With a gift to follow)
