Josiah turns 4!! Part two



















For Josiah's birthday party day, we spent the afternoon at Cantigny Park, which has all these real tanks parked around the park and kids can climb them. They had a GREAT time. 



We also went inside the war museum, which was an amazing place (and totally unexpected! We had not really heard about it).



















Here's Josiah inside the museum, listening to the soldier talking as part of a display. He was mesmerized. 

Josiah turns 4!! Part one

Here's Josiah on the morning he turned 4!! Isn't he precious! He is holding his new little birthday badge, which was Batman and it said "Birthday Hero."















His day-of-birthday mini-cake with our little family. This was after we ate dinner at his fav restaurant: CiCi's Pizza, which features mac and cheese pizza (gross :) ). He had a GREAT time. I also let him and Avery play a few driving video games and that was a big highlight of the evening, too.





Sunshine and Tiger Lilly come visit

Josiah's preschool has two guinea pigs, Sunshine and Tiger Lilly, and every weekend one of the kids gets to take them home. One weekend it was our turn!! They had a great time feeding them carrot sticks and cucumbers (a great way to use up the curly weird-shaped ones off my vines). They were sweet little animals and the boys really loved it.








Avery in Awanas

Here's Avery in his new Awana's vest. He is SOOOOO proud of it. He wanted to sleep in it the first night!

He loves the program and is doing very, very well.
