Happy Birthday Shane

It was Shane's Birthday a few weeks ago and we celebrated at home and then went on a date later in the week. Our birthdays are a few days apart, so we were able to celebrate together as a couple on a "dinner date night". Greyson, Bentley and I got Shane a watch for his birthday although he traded it in for a different one it is the thought that counts... right??? Anyway, angel food cake is Shane's favorite so I make him one every year. Lucky for both Shane and I this year, Sondra, Shane's sister sent us a care package with homemade rolls, jam, and an angel food cake. Sadly Shane opened the package right after I put the cake in the oven. Although I don't think Shane felt too put out having to consume two angel food cakes. Thanks again Sondra for being so thoughtful and  making our day as well as satisfying our tummies.

I don't think Greyson and Bentley were too sure about the candles.


I think it would be fair to say that Shane has had an eventful year: applied for fast track nursing program, had twins (well helped deliver twins and father twins, I am going to claim carrying them for 9 months and birthing them part), was accepted to school 10 days after Greyson and Bentley were born, started school (flew home a week later) moved our family to Portland, and now is over half way through program (rocking all A's and one B+ so far) and all the while makes time for his family. YOU ARE AMAZING SHANE!!! Greyson, Bentley and I love you to the core and look forward to seeing you always.
