Brady's Birthday Weekend

The fact that Brady's Birthday always falls near Mother's Day makes a bit of a conflict for him. He can't complain this year, however, because he had a terrific weekend celebration. Thursday, the day of his birthday, he got to go on a field trip at school ( his Mom was along too) and then aferward he met all of his friends at a local park for a "presents-optional" frolic with cupcakes and juice. He received some great gifts (a rocket, a skate board and 4 webkins) from his friends and it was a very nice party. He had to hurry home because there was dinner and then soccer. The soccer game was followed by more gifts at home from his parents and us and then Ethan spent the night with him.

Friday Ethan was there all morning and then they went to afternoon Kindergarten together. After school, Sherry hired a sitter for Owen. The three older boys, Mac and me, and Eddie and Sherry spent the evening together. We went out for dinner in downtown Traverse City and then we did an indoor putt putt course. Eddie, Brady and Landon, each had a "hole-in-one" and Sherry and I tried our best. Evan is still figuring out who won.

Saturday was special too because Brady and Eddie had a father-son golf outing in the morning. They were using the new set of golf clubs that Brady got from his parents for his birthday. That afternoon Brady fell asleep and slept until 11:00 p.m. He was just tuckered out. We fed him some oatmeal at 11 and then he just went back to sleep.
