Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

EWAN IS 5!


Our Ewan turned 5 this past Sunday! How time flies! We celebrated with a family BBQ and party. Grandma and Grandpa McAllister, Uncle Mark, and lots of cousins joined us.

This year everything Ewan asked for had something to do with Star Wars, or Aliens, or robots...he's such a boy!

Grandma McAllister made him a wonderful book with pictures of him through the years, including some of past birthdays. The funniest thing to me was when he told me yesterday that he was upset that I didn't give him a bigger slice of cake on his second birthday!
With his siblings and cousins and riding on his new tractor that Grandpa picked out to match the real one on the farm!
Making his "wish." He was SO funny. We told him to make a wish, so he closed his eyes and blurted out "I wish for the DEATH STAR!" (a $300 lego set we've told the kids we will NEVER buy for them!...I guess he thought wishing couldn't hurt!)
Eating his satisfactorily large piece of cake!
The cousins are such great helps with Anne when they are around and these were some cute pictures I just had to put in...

I love, Love, LOVE this little boy. He always indulges his mom with hugs and kisses...here we were sharing an after-the-party snuggle. I sure hope this growing up thing slows down!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EWAN BUDDY!!! A tractor? How cool can birthdays get?:) That last picture Ewan looks so much like Evan to me. I can't believe how much he's grown in the short two years we've known you guys. What a little sweetheart you have.

What adorable pictures of a very fun party. We had a wonderful time. The BBQ was excellent - thanks Evan! It was great for so many cousins to get to play together. Thanks for providing such a special occasion for Ewan.
Love,
Grandma & Grandpa Mac

Wish we weren't so far away. It would be fun to be able to do birthday parties with your kids.
:( Looking forward to seeing you and the kids at some point...hopefully before Christmas. Johnathan needs boys to play with.
