Guess who's three?!

Charlie celebrated his third birthday last weekend at our neighborhood playground with friends.  Thanks to all for the birthday wishes and surprises!

Life with Two

OK, so life with one was manageable. Life with two is crazy! Help, I can't keep up. Sorry for the delay in posting to Ben's blog. Ben turned 6 last month, can you believe it?? Ben invited lots of friends to a party at a local bounce house and he continues to learn lots in kindergarten. We had a very busy holiday season, starting with a feast of food and friends at Thanksgiving. The Christmas season started with a visit from Grampa (who made it to the bookfair!), a holiday parade in Hillsborough, a holiday concert at the daycare, a fieldtrip to the mall to see Santa, and a holiday luncheon with Auntie Lynn at the Carolina Inn. The day before Christmas we hit the road for Michigan. We made it in time to see Nana! And then Santa came, bringing lots of exciting new toys. Thank you to all for the wonderful birthday and Christmas gifts. All four Kinnairds in North Carolina were spoiled. Ben loves all of his new games and iPod touch and Charlie can now really be Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba. I see a motorbike in his future and valium in mine.

We were lucky to spend a week in Michigan visiting both Marantette and Kinnaird sides of the family. I got a trip down memory lane with an afternoon and evening in Ann Arbor. Ben and Charlie could not get enough of all of their cousins. They had fun at museums, arcades, gyms, bowling alleys, and good old fun running around the house and yard at Aunt Laurie and Uncle Paul's. Next year maybe we will get to see the west coast relatives? Check out some photos from the last month!!
