From Elizabeth

Hi dad!

I understand you are without the iPad right now, but you'll catch up with our posts when you get back on. I hope the therapy is really fun!

Today was Ames' birthday. We planned to meet three of his school friends (and one older brother ) for strawberry picking and then a run in the park. It was a blast!

Strawberry picking:

Playing at Spring Creek park. 

Down the slide...

Up the slide...

Back down the slide...

He loves his friend Elise.

Then we took a break to sing happy birthday and eat cupcakes!

Then, well, back to the creek! Wading across holding Elise's hand.

I didn't think I could manage the whole thing alone, so our babysitter Molly came along. Here she is holding Willa so I could play with Ames.

It was a great party. Tonight Doug's parents are coming over for a dinner birthday party.
