Saturday we had a Curious George birthday party for Ben. His actual birthday is the 14th. We had seven 2 year olds and their parents. Most of them have baby siblings as well. It was quite a houseful. We had a good time. Ben had a couple melt downs when he didn't want to share his new toys....especially his new football Uncle Mike and Aunt Christina gave him. We had to wait for him to compose himself before we could cut the cake. Its great having new toys around. He has been so independent playing with all of them.
David has started interview season. So far he has interviewed at OU and Nebraska. Next on the long list are John Hopkins and Mayo MN. The flights, hotel, etc. are beginning to add up. Kate and I came down with a chest cough/cold this weekend. Its so sad to hear Kate cough. I am sure she caught it from me, so it makes me feel bad. Ben had a cold a couple of weeks ago and is still having a residual cough from it......probably the same bug. Ben goes to the dentist for the first time tomorrow. I hope he is cooperative. We hope you are all happy and healthy!

what a face he has!! so cute.
yes, for Maddy's 3yr b-day party we had 11 of her friends, plus parents and a few siblings.... crazy day!! but we had the same problem with the gifts, so luckily I had one of the back bedrooms cleared out and filled with about 70 balloons. As soon as the last (friend) gift was opened I sent them off to the 'balloon room'. this gave me a chance to hide all the new gifts. hee hee
and then we did family gifts after all the kids left!
happy birthday to Ben!!!
Ok, that is a sad face...but what a fun birthday party! I'm glad he liked all the gifts he got, even if he didn't want to share them. Good luck with the interviews David, and good luck to Ben on the dental visit. I used to work as an assistant in a pediatric dental office and I thought it was so much fun. Hopefully they will have some great ways to distract Ben from those crazy instruments and tools!
Karen...I'd LOVE a Settlers night! What days will you be here for Christmas? We are leaving on the 27th to go up to a cabin, so I hope you are here before Christmas! Let us know, cause that would be awesome :)
