Bayus is FOUR!
Friday, April 24th, 2009 | Uncategorized | 2 Comments
On Tuesday our little Bayus turned 4 years old 
To celebrate we had several special little friends over for a train themed party. This year Bayus was extremely involved in the planning of his party, so much so it was all I could do keep up with him and his ideas! A special thank you to my dear friends who took pictures of the party for me (I got called away to a birth just over an hour before the party, but it was super rapid and I made it back in time for the cake and presents) and also one dear friend that took my cake decorating weaknesses under her wing and made a point of coming over late the night before to help me put together a somewhat recognizable train cake- thank you ladies!
I’d also like to thank Sonya of Sublime Threads for her awesome work on designing and making Bayus’ birthday shirt for us. If you ever want a truly special outfit with quality workMOMship then check out Sonya here
Another great link I need to make sure you have is for MrMcGroovy and his amazing cardboard building plans and kits!
Please watch the short video I made (get a cup of tea while you wait for it to download) that includes images of all the little details we put together for the party and some of the unexpected entertainment like magnifying glasses and the chickens

We are having major snow which is not usual for our area. Being housebound, mostly, and lots of events canceled makes for a lot of creative free time together as a family, which is great On Sunday we were trying to decide whether or not to brave the elements to go to church (we did) and while we discussed this the kids ran off- they had an IDEA!
Click on the picture below to watch what they came up with. If you missed seeing a Christmas pageant this year because of weather or scheduling- here is your chance!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to all that were near and dear this past week…

This past week we had a family emergency when Hannah’s appendix ruptured and we had to spend six days at the local children’s hospital. We were overwhelmingly surrounded in love and prayers from friends and family both near and far. As a family we all felt, and especially Hannah, very very loved. Thank you for standing with us and petitioning the Lord on Hannah’s behalf for her health and saftey this past week.
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

This post was a long time coming….but hopefully you feel its worth it I had to collect images from 2 of my cameras and from the cameras of my little sister and 2 other friends (hence the lack of continuity in file names).
We had a magical day with all our friends, please enjoy the video by clicking below. It will take some time to download for viewing, feel free to get a cup of tea while you wait, but if you can’t possibly wait to see the video you can also click below and scroll through the images used in the video.

Through the years with Hannah Banana!
