We have a 5 year old???!!!???

It's hard to believe that five years ago we gave birth to our first child. I look at our little girl and can't imagine that she was a little baby. She's so grown up! She can even write her name now. Jill and I used to say things like, "I can see us having a baby or toddler but not a school aged child". Well, now Lydia will be starting kindergarten and she'll soon be learning to read. How exciting! We decided to celebrate her birthday early so that most of the family could wish her happy birthday. We actually had two parties. One in Sedalia with my family and one in St. Louis with Jill's family.

We had a wonderful time at Partitown in Sedalia a couple of week ago.

Lydia got to go to Chuck E. Cheeze's in St. Louis for the first time.
