A "Super" Party!

Kiran had such a fun time at his party! His Super Friends were really super, and they all pitched in to save the day! Here is the text from his invitation:

Calling all SUPER Friends! You are
urgently needed for a Birthday Bash!
Come join us for a
Super Hero Training Camp to Celebrate

Kiran’s 4th Birthday!

Training begins at
4:00 on Mon. March 23rd (actually we had to change it to Tues.)
at Kiran’s Fortress

Feel free to come as
your Super or your Secret Identity!

Please notify the Command Center
of your attendance

We had a spectacular group of Super Friends in attendance including Batman and Robin, Spiderman, Wonder Dog, and a host of other Supers! And, of course, the Birthday Boy Superman!

The Super Friends did great at their training tests including:
1. Strength
2. Speed
3. Super Power
4. Teamwork



Running to save the animals from the capsized ship!

Kiran, we can't believe how quickly four years have passed! You have changed and grown so much! You bring such great joy to us every day! We are proud of you, and we are excited about all of the amazing times ahead of you and that we can share them with you! Have a wonderful 4th birthday!


(We are having trouble with some of our older pictures - hopefully you can still see them!)

Cookie and Papa at Our House - Oh Yeah!

We had a wonderful time with Cookie and Papa this past week! We are so glad that they came to play, visit, and work with us!



Waiting for their arrival . . .

Here they come!!!



A little shy, only for the first 5 minutes, of course!

Reading with Cookie right away!

Working right away! Thanks, Papa, for all of your help in the yard and shed this week! Our backyard looks awesome, and our fence made of wood racks is so cool!

cutting and splitting wood!

Ellery watching the WILD baseball game!



Kiran and Papa had a fun phrase they repeated many times during the trip when something fun was happening or about to happen. Now, Kiran says it all the time to share his excitement about something - "OH YEAH!" I think we can definitely say, "OH YEAH" about this baseball fun!


Working with some great educational toys that Cookie brought to share!


A fun walk by the river on Sunday afternoon!

Throwing sticks in the water!





Enjoying the full moon! Cookie and Papa have a fun tradition with our family. They always call if there is a bright, beautiful moon out. They blow a kiss to the moon from TX, and we blow one back from TN. It is really sweet and a fun way to stay connected as we live so far apart. While they were here, we had amazing weather every day, and the full moon was out at night! It was really cool to finally enjoy that bright beautiful moon (actually the "m-moon" as Ellery likes to call it) together in the same space!




We took many more pictures during the rest of the week but used Cookie's camera. I forgot to put her photos on my computer before they left, so we'll have more pics to share another day!

Thanks again, Cookie and Papa for an incredible time together! We love you!
