This past weekend was a very special weekend. It began on Friday morning with Hope and me baking Andrew some goodies to take to his school on Monday to celebrate his birthday with his classmates. As you can see, Hope (and I) had a blast!

When we were finished baking, I joined Andrew at his school for "Mother's Day Tea". Andrew had made me some very special gifts and performed for me in a show. He did great! Then, he served me ice cream, brownies, and a drink.
Afterwards, we hopped in the car and went to Grandma's house to see Aunt Jen, Aunt Michele, and Carolyn--who had come to visit for a short time. While on the drive to Grandma's house, we received notification that all our adoption paperwork had passed inspection and was on its way to China.
The look of happy relief:

Feeling somethin' ain't quite right:
Still not right:
Aww. Better!
(Thanks for the block to stand on, Jen!)
The next day we went to a Science Museum to begin celebrating Andrew's birthday. (We purchased a year-membership so we could enhance the children's homeschooling experience.)
Funny daddy!
Lego time!
These two figured out a very hard puzzle!
The next day was Andrew's birthday. Cherish, Hope, and daddy decorated the house by hanging streamers and paper construction trucks from the ceiling. At the same time, Andrew and I made a "dirt cake" (brownies with chocolate icing) together. His construction truck theme came together:
And, he ended the evening with a shower + some of his construction costume:
Cute kid!
Happy Big 5, Buddy!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
What a FABULOUS weekend with our loved ones!!!!
