Happy Birthday to Our Boys

Yeah it was about 3 months ago, but....

 Happy Birthday Daniel!

Dan turned 4 in July.  He's supposed to be our sweet little baby boy and he refused to wait one more year before turning 4.  Our Dan-the-man is determined to keep up with his older brother and sister, and can run just as fast and do absolutely everything that they can.  It breaks his little heart when he gets left out of something.  It's been an adjustment for him being without his two best buddies while Andrew and Madelyn are in school all day.  However, he loves his baby (Claire) to pieces.  He sits by Claire in the car and makes sure she doesn't cry.  He's her little entertainer, he keeps her laughing.  He is always making sure she is safe and not getting into trouble.  I expect soon enough he'll be teaching her how to get into trouble instead of keeping her out of trouble. 

This was one of his favorite presents (thanks Gma Risenmay).  It came in handy swimming everyday all summer.

 He ate the blue frosting off his cake and thought it was hilarious that he had a blue tongue.  

Happy Birthday Andrew!

We're having trouble believing this kid is already 7-years-old.  It can't seriously be 7 years since this little guy joined our family!  He was such a sweet and content baby and he still has a very pleasant and entertaining personality.  He really enjoys life and is always out to have a good time, but he is so good to include his younger siblings.  He's a great big brother and his negotiating skills come in handy when he is trying to settle disputes between the siblings.  He tries to keep everything fair and fun for everyone. 

 Andrew is obsessed with Avengers (not sure why, he hasn't seen the movie, must be school).  Needless to say, he was a little excited about the Avengers masks.  Good thing he was willing to share, Daniel and Madelyn were excited too. 

 Glad these two are such good buddies!

We love that we have two girls too!
