Five is Alive

Remember that movie, Short Circuit?  The robot goes around saying "Five is Alive, Five is Alive".  That’s been my favorite "annoying" saying for the weekend.  Caleb is officially FIVE.  I can’t believe it.  Five seems so big, and I still feel like he is three.  But it was so fun to celebrate him this weekend.  Derek and I are especially proud of the shark cake that we whipped up late Friday night.  A shark party with six 4 and 5 year-old’s is just plain FUN.  Water baseball, pizza, cake and ice cream…Caleb said to me, "I didn’t know life could be so fun."  And that says it all. 🙂

My mom came to help with Samuel, order pizza and provide background support…Thanks Mom, and Steve, Kay and Mark too!  My friend Shelley offered to stay with her son Matthew and take some pictures.  That is the most wonderful thing to say to a mother who’s hosting a party!  One, because she’s an amazing photographer, and two, because it gave me the chance to just enjoy Caleb and the party. Thanks Shelley!

    Amazing cake, engaging games, a precious boy to celebrate and GREAT photos that will help us all to hang on to those memories. It was a perfect birthday party. You and Derek planned it beautifully. We wouldn’t have missed it, and we celebrate you both as loving parents, as well.
