Jack's Big Birthday Weekend: Part 1
Oh. My. Goodness.
I don't think that Phillip and I have ever been this pooped.
Seriously. Even after 30 hours of labor I wasn't this tired.
Throwing a First Birthday Bash is exhausting!! Oh, but how much fun it was too! So much fun, in fact, that I have over 200 pictures to sort through before I can get any posted. I know, I know, what kind of Mommy am I? A crazy one, for sure - and anyone at the party will testify to that.
So, I hope to get the full play-by-play and several pictures from the Barnyard Birthday Bash up for your enjoyment sometime tomorrow. I hope. Really.
For now, however, I do have some really good stuff to share. On Friday night, which was Jack's actual birthday, we went over to John and Jamie Thompson's house. John and Jamie are friends of ours from church and they are just Good People. They probably have no idea how much we appreciate them love hanging out with them. Their son, Wesley, was born the day after Jack - in the same hospital. Jamie and I were only about 4 rooms apart, and Jack and Wes were in the nursery together! These little guys have literally been Buddies from Day One:
And yes, I mercifully edited Jamie and myself out of that photo, out of respect to our dignity - although Jamie didn't even look like she had broken a sweat. I, on the other hand....well, all I can say is Thank You, Pitocin for the lovely "water balloon" look you gave me. It was so appreciated.
Anyway, here are the boys now - My, how they've grown!
It was at this fantastic Sesame Street Birthday Celebration that we learned of Jack's intense love of Cheese Puffs:
And Wesley's endless adoration of cake:
We had a great time. Jack and Wes, along with their buddy Easton Organ (who is also a doll) played with Wes's new toys and ate pizza. Jack was so thoroughly worn out from all the fun that I think he fell asleep before Phillip could even get the car started. Awesome. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends.
Happy Birthday, Wesley!
And more Birthday stuff to come...after I get a good night's sleep!
