We celebrated Ashleigh's fourth birthday on Saturday with a fun party and lots of our friends and family came over to our house. The kids made party hats (and John too) out of construction paper, colored them, and put on stickers and ribbons. We also had a tacos and nachos for dinner and choice of chocolate cake or lemon cake with ice cream for dessert. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed on the day of the party and am so thankful for Rob's help with baking both cakes and making the glazes. He has quite a baking talent!

Watching present openingI realize I haven't blogged now in over a month and while not too much has happened in that month, I have gotten a little bit bigger. Here's a picture of me at 27 weeks (as some of you have been asking for one). I was so good about taking and posting pictures while I was pregnant with Ethan and however, with our new boy on the way and two little ones to take care of, I haven't had as much time, plus kids nap time almost always = my nap time too, so there isn't much free time in the day for blogging.
I also just had to post this video I took on September 18th, about 2 weeks after Ethan took his first step. He's 15 months old in this video. Can you imagine learning how to walk now as an adult? Looks pretty painful! But Ethan's having fun from the looks of it. He's gotten so much better over the past month and barely falls at all now, but I hope you're as amused as I was watching this!

great clip of ethan! i love that smile amidst all the falls.=) is that all boy? hanna was not that adventurous attempting to walk. you look great, janice, and i am really impressed with rob's culinary skills. see you soon!
Oh, goodness. That was hillarious! Glad to hear that you are all doing so good.
Oh, and another thing...a birthday party for Abby with 25 of her favorite friends looks tame compared to Ashleigh's party! Good grief!
Ann, the party wasn't too crazy, although I think it was the biggest we've had to date and reached the maximum capacity for our house. I counted up 33 people who came over and it was a lot of fun! Thanks Amy for your comments too!
