Olivia's birthday party

Lots of people came up from Decorah, Rochester and surrounding communities. We had a lot of fun in the blow up castle and opening presents. Elena had blown up a lot of balloons and filled the castle and the kids danced and spun in that thing up to their ears in balloons.

I haven't noted on here recently because I've been too busy filling the bird feeders. Lots of different varieties but no mockingbirds yet. Olivia gets a kick out of saying chickadee. It is also one of her stall techniques from going to nap by saying that she wants to see the birds.

Zach has been having major troubles with his teeth coming in. He has been waking up quite often at night just the saddest little boy. He'll stand up in his pack-n-play (it is in our room) and stare at me and scream as loudly as he can.
