Yesterday we celebrated Rylan’s birthday.  He made sure to wear his Halloween costume to show off to everyone.  There were SO many presents.  It was like Christmas.  My kids are spoiled rotten!  Rylan got a new Brio train track, wooden toys and puzzles, some clothes and some Diego toys, which he played with for at least 4 hours straight yesterday.  Everyone was so generous, which we were so grateful for, since we were only able to buy Rylan a few things for his birthday.  (Jelly beans–his favorite candy.  Gum–promised to him once he turned three, but may have to be held off for another year since he cannot seem to understand the concept of chewing without swallowing.  Spiderman underwear–also promised to him when he turned three.  $5 wooden puzzle.  Rubber boots–a necessity in every size for all children living and playing in the Northwest.) 

This is what happens when you ask your husband to take pictures, but you get the general idea:

We had a Diego birthday cake.  Go Diego Go!

And here is the only picture that will EVER exist of my sister-in-law and I, pregnant at the same time.  She’s about 25 weeks along.  That’s my nephew in there!!!
