Jesse's Day

Well, I have a bit of an outdated post but there hasn't been much to say or photograph lately so....this is from Jesse's actual birthday. We saved a few presents for him (as well as some leftover cupcakes) so that he could celebrate on the actual day.

First thing that am he opened his present from Grampy and Grammy....

oh, the suspense....!(Pastor Matt, the packing peanuts went immediately into the trash!)

And then the presents appeared - a cool shirt:

and, when you're 3, an even cooler toy=)

Which big brother Logan promptly offered to help him with!

Then at lunch time we pulled out the leftover cupcakes and put a candle in it. I love how easy it is to please a 3 year old=)And one final present from Mommy and Daddy, more clothes but, thankfully, also a toy=)As for the rest of what has been happening this last week/weekend.....Well, there have been a few things but I either a) haven't had my camera, or b) haven't felt inspired to post. A big thing the last couple days has been getting back into the school routine. Monica has started 12th grade!!!! Of course that involves a lot of computer work and lesson planning and preparing of report cards and different things like that on my end, but on her end there are some changes as well. She is excited and glad to have a fresh start on new subjects, but not nearly as excited as she is about this being her last year of school! She finished 11th grade with A's on all her finals and is looking forward to the next 3 quarters where the classes will be a bit easier. Just a few months from now she will be leaving us for Northland!!! But not before spending her last birthday at home, her last Christmas living at home, her last summer as a foot loose and fancy free high schooler - It is exciting and fun but, as the time draws closer, it gets a bit sadder and scarier as well...=(
