Steve's Birthday



I'm afraid that Steve's birthday has usurped Emerson's five week celebrations. I have lots of pictures of Steve, and only a couple of Mr. E - I guess it's about time that Dad got the spotlight! We kept it low key for the birthday celebrations Tuesday night. Emerson stayed with my parents while we went out to eat (thanks guys!), then we returned to the parental abode for cake and presents. Steve got some shirts from Emerson and me (Emerson picked them out), a picture frame from Oberon and Bear (the parents' dogs), and a tea strainer/steeper thingie from my parents. Then came the surprise - a bicycle! I'd managed to keep this a secret for AGES - Emerson didn't breathe a word either. Steve was thoroughly surprised and happy (I hope). He rode it home today and looked thrilled to have the wind in his hair and the bugs in his teeth.

Surprised Steve and sleeping Emerson.


The surprise!


I'm not looking forward to going back to work on Monday. I'll miss Emerson and his silly faces and our morning cuddles before we start the day.

Sleeping Emerson at my parents' house. Happy 5 Weeks!!
