May Birthdays

 We have three birthdays in May, Eleanor, Moses, and Athansius. In that order.:) Yesterday we celebrated Moses and Eleanor.  Clayton took the day off work, he also took Eleanor out for lunch at Maple Lane.  We celebrate our birthdays a little differently because the thought of organizing a party overwhelms me.  This is something I struggle with, but I'm learning it's okay to be different, it's okay to make adjustments to fit your needs. My biggest concern is that our kids will feel sad, but hopefully, they feel loved by the way we celebrate them and just how special they are to us.  

It's so hard to believe Eleanor is 15, it feels like yesterday we were in our little duplex where she was born.  Eleanor is kind and sincere.  I love talking with her.  We finally finished out Mocking Jay together! She has been posting art videos on youtube, I'm so, SO proud of her.  She is such a beautiful person. 

Moses is sweet and spicy these days! :) He still loves to be held and cuddled, and for that I'm thankful.  He does have a strong will but we are working with him.  He wants to do everything the other kids are doing.  He loves to play with legos, hot wheels, and OUTSIDE. :) We've been spending a lot of time at his sandbox. He likes to pour water in the sandbox and make a "waterfall".  He will be three tomorrow. :)
