Happy Birthday Little Guy!

It's official. We've got another two-year-old. We've been considering William two years old for months now, but today it is official. Here is how he spent his special day.



Will wanted to spend the first part of his day coloring.

Then he got to play in the snow for his very first time!



Snow angels are fun!



At nap-time, Esther helped make his cake. The "W" on the red car was her great idea.

Cameron's last case was cancelled and the chief resident said he could come home early for Will's birthday. So after nap-time he opened his presents!



Thanks everybody!

I slaved all day to cook William's favorite foods for dinner: mac and cheese from a box, microwave chicken nuggets, and frozen corn. He ate two plates worth.

After dinner it was time for cake. It only took him five tries to blow out his two candles. Not bad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM! WE LOVE YOU!

A Taste of Home

We love our new home in Michigan, but Grenada was our home for three years, and there are some things we really miss. One food item I was trying to figure out how to take to America with us (without causing luggage weight issues) was Ceres Juice. I thought we would have to say goodbye to it forever, but to my great joy I found some today. Granted, they didn't have half an aisle dedicated to every variety of the stuff like the store in Grenada, and it is a little more expensive here, but it's nice that one of our Grenadian favorites can be on our American shelf too.

p.s. I haven't posted for a while, and there are probably a dozen blog-worthy things that I haven't written about (like Thanksgiving, our anniversary, and all the cute and amazing things our kids have done). Oh well. Such is life.

11 Down, 2 to Go

Hooray for Esther!



William wanted in on the action too.

All Fall Down

On a walk home yesterday the kids found some leaves that were too fun not to play in. William decided the best thing ever would be to sing "Ring Around the Rosies" while running around the tree. Good thing he's still got diaper padding.

When he saw the camera come out he needed a little reminder of what he was doing.

Hooray

I didn't think I'd ever see this again.

Halloween at the Hospital

I was (sadly) the only one not dressed up this Halloween. Halloween fell in the middle of Cameron's pediatric rotation, where everyone was very strongly encouraged to dress up. He made a great Cat in the Hat.

Ten Down, Three to Go

Here is number ten. Esther is amazing. When we decided to base our Family Home Evening lessons this year on the Articles of Faith we were just thinking of a way to have good lesson plans without having to have a mad scramble for ideas on Monday night. We had no idea Esther would actually memorize them all!
