Spider-man

Ever since Parker met Spider-man when we were in Orlando for his Make-A-Wish trip, he's been a huge Spider-man fan. He even shares a name with Spider-man's alter-ego. Here he is in his Spider-man shirt, cardboard mask, and socks performing some of the moves he's learned from the various cartoons, movies, etc. He can only do a few of these dances before we have to force him to take a break because he gets so tired due to his pulmonary hypertension. Still, we're glad he's feeling well enough to get his Spider-man groove on!

11 Years and Counting!

Our Star Wars fan celebrated her 11th birthday today (a day early because we have some fun plans for tomorrow--more on that later...)! She took a treat to school to share with her friends and Parker and I brought her Chick-fil-a for lunch ( a tradition we started when she was in Kindergarten...). She chose to have Papa Murphy's Pizza for dinner (we LOVE that we have one in our city now) and a triple chocolate fudge Star Wars cake and Bunny Tracks ice cream. Yummy!

 

Look at this awesome cake!

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are holding light sabers that actually light up when you push a button on their backs--Darth Vader's is red and Luke's is green.

Kelsey received some great presents--thank you Grandma and Grandpa Romney, Grandma and Grandpa Wardle, and Nanny!

 She already has a plan for this money...

 She was very excited about more Star Wars Legos!

But the electronics kit was by far her most favorite present. She spent quite a while tonight putting together the first 10 projects (with Dad teaching her the reasons why the projects work the way they do--a fun and educational present...). She said she LOVES it!

We are so grateful that Kelsey is part of our family. She is such a joy in our lives. She is so sweet, compassionate and helpful. We love her beautiful smile and cute giggles (and the hiccups she gets when she laughs too hard--just like her mom used to do, haha!!!) We love her so much.

Happy Birthday, Kelsey!!!!
