Headed to see Thomas! It was a windy, chilly day but warmed up later.

He wasn't in the mood to pose for a picture, but we still had to get at least one that showed Thomas.

Birthday dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, the perfect place for Reese because he can play on the playground most of the time and just take short breaks for food. The waiters also put a pirate hat on him and sang "Happy Birthday."

There was way too much candy for the kids at the party, but conveniently there was a baseball team nearby who helped us with that problem.

Reese had three parties this year: one at school where I made cupcakes for his class, one the night of his birthday with the family (the birthday boy, Keegan, Grandma, Auntt Janis, Mommy and Daddy), and on the Saturday following his birthday, we had his party for his friends. Reese wanted a small party with just a few friends at his favorite park with a pinata, so that's exactly what we did.
Keegan has started to crawl, though he's only done it twice so far then seemed to forget about it. He is starting to eat solids now and so far has tasted avocado, peas, squash, carrots, bananas, yogurt (his favorite), and probably a few more things I've forgotten about.

Love seeing all these pictures - help to see the boys grow up. I cant believe Reese is 4! You all look great. Glad to see Grandma is doing so much better.

Wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing so that we could be a part of it too. I love the boys dressing alike.That is just to cute. Thomas the Train looked like it was fun. All of the partys for such a lucky 4 yr. old boy. How many cupcakes did the BB eat? Grandma you look good too. Glad to see you are doing better. Nana sure does love you guys. Thanks Mel and Bri for sharing these special times with us.
