Jason's Birthday

Have I mentioned April is Birthday Month?! 

Sunday was Jason's birthday. I really wanted to make him an apple pie but I was so wiped out; that wasn't happening. Instead, after we all took two hour naps, we took the kids to Hickory Park for the first time at snack time, introduced them to cheese balls (or "cheese meat balls" as they called them) and let them have ice cream. 

Then we went to the park. 

 And tried out Abram's new kite he got for his birthday.

Did I mention I was wiped out? I sat right there on the ground the whole time we were at the park. (Good thing Claire likes to take pictures.) I wanted to be with my family and engage with them, but this was the best I could do. I did enjoy every minute of watching them and I loved seeing their joy as they each flew a kite for the first time.

Back at home with his guitar. This is one of Abram's favorite little spots to sit and play. There is a video Abram loves to watch of Chris Tomlin and Matt Redmon singing "Our God is Greater." So, he'll say, "I'll be Chris. You be Matt," and then he'll play his guitar. I don't know if it is from watching that video or if it is natural, but he sits like a guitar player!

 The bedtime routine.
