James is 6!

In the words of a wise friend today, "What an incredible and precious gift.  God is so good!" 

Happy 6th Birthday to our sweet little boy! 

Tobias made pancakes and eggs for breakfast.  We put a candle in the birthday boy's pancake!  Fun times.

The birthday presents - woohoo!


Two different Lego sets! 


While James opened, Eli was content to rip apart the open envelopes.


Super fun cards too!

And a special sweatshirt for the cold weather here!

And perhaps the biggest hit was the Florida Gators sock monkey, named Saka.  He is currently watching a movie with us.

Cambridge hosts a family literacy festival every year and it happened to fall on James' birthday.  Perfect family fun including face painting, free books, and a magic show.

During the magic show Tobias was selected to participate up front - but he had to wear the Rastafarian hat!  James thought that was pretty cool.
 
Hanging out in front of Cambridge City Hall like the students at Harvard and MIT. 
 
We allowed James to select dinner for tonight - and he chose lobster!  My Florida baby is adjusting to New England life easily!
 
And we finished off the special day with a homemade ice cream cookie sandwich and a movie!

Happy happy birthday James. I'm glad you were able to have sooo much fun on your special day. I'm happy that you are adjusting to your new home and I'm sure you will make a lot of new friends soon.

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
