Darreck's Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated the birth of my slightly crazy, very loud, incredibly loving, immensely funny husband. He had to spend the day at work (booo!) but we got to hang out as a family in the evening. Darreck is in the midst of teacher prep week, so he's working days right now as opposed to his usual evening schedule. Anyways, we dropped by his work potluck then went home to feast on lobster tail, shrimp scampi, crab cakes, and wild rice. My family then met us for his cake which, as per his request, was made entirely of doughnuts. I've got to stop telling him I'll make whatever kind of cake he wants. I'm kind of afraid of what his creative brain will come up with next year! He also opened presents from my family- an indoor grill from my mom and dad, a video game from Kayla, and cologne from my grandma. He got his present, a new baseball mitt, from Max, Luke, and me last week. We let him go with Max to pick it out :) After cake we were supposed to go miniature golfing, but the weather chose not to cooperate. So, after eating massive amounts of doughnuts, we went out for ice cream. So much for loosing those last ten pounds of baby weight...

It was a great day, we're lucky to have him.
