Pumpkin carving this morning

As you can see, the kids were VERY involved in this the entire time!
Sorry I've been so delinquent lately. I'm going to try and be better. Summer went through another ER round with her heart condition on Thursday evening. It was much less scarry than last time and they got us through the ER in record time. The first dose of IV meds worked this time and she's doing well. She's quite the trooper. Well, we had a good 4 months without, we'll see how much time goes between this next round. Hope you all are well.

River and his line of cars

One morning last week, River decided to line all his cars up into a line along the carpet and was very proud of himself and his accomplishment.

River was a tad bit overwhelmed with so many kids and neighbors at our house to celebrate his birthday. He got really shy when we all sang to him, but he rallied to eat a cupcake.

Cupcake time! We figured River would still enjoy his friends more if they each had their own 'little cakes' and he didn't have to share his.
