Happy 1st Birthday Ezra!!!

Happy, happy, happy birthday to our baby boy!  I cannot believe he is one year old.  Here we come to the conclusion of our month pictures.  As you can tell from the pictures Ezra spent a lot of this month growing hair!  He is so adorable that people often mistake him for a girl.  The most asked question is of course "when are you getting his hair cut?"  The answer is - "soon."  The other thing Ezra was focused on this month was moving.  He is really walking now.  He can walk across a whole room.  He can step over the threshold of a doorway without falling.  He can stand up in the middle of a room without holding onto anything.  He can pick something up without falling down.  He loves to go up stairs and now is working on coming down them in a safe way (horay!).  It is so fun to watch this little guy walk around and explore the world.  Ezra is still very interested in whatever his brothers are playing with.  He gives his parents and grandparents big smiles, waves, snuggles and blows kisses when he sees us.  Ezra we love you with all our heart!!!

Time in NY

 We had a wonderful visit to Grandma and Pa's house!  We had so much fun playing with Grandma, Pa, Uncle Joshy, and Aunt Shir.

It was so warm we went to a playground and ran into my friend Debbie and her family.  How fun!

We celebrated Grandma's birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!  WE LOVE YOU!!!

 Justin got some birthday presents - Jerald and I had a lot of fun riding the scooter around.

 The boys had fun with these silly glasses straws...

 Aunt Shir is so silly!

I also got to see a bunch of high school friends and meet lots of new babies!  Thanks for coming out to visit Marci, Adam, Susie and Brian!  

Friday night, I dragged Jerald to my 15 year high school reunion - Debbie and I had a blast!  Our husbands were great sports.

A very thankful Thanksgiving

 We have so much to be thankful for - if you follow the blog I do not need to list all the amazing family and friends that we are so thankful for.  Above all Jerald and I are so thankful for our three amazing boys!  We spent a fun and yummy thanksgiving on long island with Grandma, Pa, Aunt Shir and Uncle Joshy.  It was great to spend so much quality time together and to eat all the yummy food!  Thanks so much Grandma for all your hard work!  We love you!!!

 This is Seth's turkey centerpiece he made in school.

Ezra walking

 Ezra is getting so much better at walking.  He sometimes puts his arms out in front of him like a zombie - really cute!

Justin's 3rd Birthday

Let the celebrations begin!  Justin is 3!!!  For the first time Justin got to partake in our newish family tradition on your birthday ~ breakfast in bed!  He decided to do it on the floor of his room because that was where Seth was.  But still fun.  We had a low key birthday dinner with just the 5 of us - but of course we had candles and yummy cupcakes.  In the afternoon, Justin asked "Mommy, am I still 3?"  And I said, "Yes, for the whole year!"  

We wish you a very, very, very happy birthday to our sweet Justin.  Over the last year he has become much more independent, opinionated, strong, verbal, snuggly and loving.  We love you with all our heart!

Brothers in the park

Restaurant in the basement

 Spurred by the fun hats Daddy brought back for the boys from his business trip, Seth was all intent on taking me out for a "date."  We got all dressed up and Justin and Daddy cooked up some yummy "food" in our restaurant in the basement.  Too cute!
