Our children

are special. They do not shop at the market, but at the Fresh Market. They play the "flupe" (flute) and guitar so they can

"be all the cool."

We left Charleston yesterday at 445 pm. Within 5 minutes of getting on the road,

They passed out! I drove three hours before we made our first pit stop! That NEVER happens.

We got in last night just before 1030 pm. I had to unpack a few things (dream lights, pillow pets, etc). The girls played with Autumn's birthday gifts while I unloaded things. They went to bed about 11 pm and I went to bed about midnight. I slept like a rock.

So I want to upload pictures from the party now.

Wish it wasn't blurry, but this was how Millie started out bowling.

Watching her ball. She sat down because it took like ten years for the ball to not reach the pins.

Autumn's turn.

I love that she wanted to bowl in that dress.

They were all deciding who would get which princess.

Millie liked Ashwin's cake the best.

Miss Connie lighting the candles. Autumn told me she didn't want any of the purple cake (you know, because two years ago she threw up purple Dora cake!). Mostly, Autumn just wanted to open presents.

Millie has never required silverware. She is such an animal.

I like how she is wearing the pearl headband as if it were a necklace.

Autumn got a Snow White La La Loopsy doll/movie, dress up stuff, Smurfs Movie, a cupcake scentsy warmer (which she loves!!), guitar, board games, Mobigo/game (to replace the one her cousin dumped sand in), barbie doll and an interactive puppy that does things when you say certain words. Overall, she got a lot of things and she liked them all.

Random and it doesn't make any sense at all, but debuting on my blog for the first time, my good friend Suzen from Colorado (remember we tried to meet up with her when we passed through Colorado, but she ditched me for work... what sort of responsible person does that?)

She sliced her hand open on an apple slicer. Totally something I would do! She patched that bad boy up herself.

Back to birthday operations!

Jordan, Autumn, Katie, Skyla and Isiah. These kids have such a good time together.

Autumn and Millie.

Today we will go to church this evening. I need to finish unpacking and do some laundry. Other than that, we will be at home. I may not go to church tonight, I am undecided at this point. I sort of do not feel like leaving the house at all!

I love you and I miss you so much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 100 days (holy cow!) of a little girl turning into a little lady.
