I had a wonderful birthday present this year--my parents came to visit! My dad said he realized we hadn't been together on my birthday in over ten years (minus three years ago when Jake had his first surgery on my birthday). They came in on my birthday and took us all out to dinner and then spent the weekend with us playing with the kids. Jake was so cute when Ty told him it was my birthday. He said, "No, it's Jesus' birthday, not Mommy's." We'd spent much of this month talking about Jesus' birth so he was confused that my birthday could be this month, too. I think being trumped by Jesus is pretty good, though. Ty bought me a scrumptious chocolate cake and I enjoyed every bit of my day :)
My sweet Jake and me--we celebrated my 34 years and his 3 year anniversary of his first surgery…we spent time looking at his surgery album and he actually loved the pictures of him with all of the wires. I explained more about his scar and showed him his surgeon and nurses. He loved seeing pictures of all of his grandparents there, too. Right now, he's really proud of his surgery and scar so hopefully he'll grow up with a healthy understanding of his heart condition.

Gracie all ready for church on Sunday…thanks Gentry for the outfit…can't wait to pass it back to you and see Morgan wear it next Christmas :)
Dad and Ty teaching the kids to play tennis. Ty got the Quick Start tennis set for Christmas which has a smaller net and big foam balls to teach kids the fundamentals of tennis. Jake is actually pretty good at swinging the racquet. Dad started teaching me at three so I love that he was helping teach my kids now, too. Grace is still too young, but it's good to expose tennis to her at a young age :)
Grace all tired out and hanging out with Gigi. She was glued to my mom all weekend…she loves her Gigi!
