Graeme is FOUR years old! Happy Birthday Wee Boy!

This is quite the long post with a SURPRISE at the end so hang in here! Graeme is turning 4 tomorrow and we celebrated all weekend. We went to Lexington and had a Pirate party with both sets of his Godparents. We had a fabulous weekend and he was so excited.

A Cake made for a Pirate




Graeme with his stack of presents
For those who know him, he continues to be an excellent eater. He ate almost an entire container of spinach and artichoke dip.

He demanded a pirate party! He told everyone that is what he was having along with a wink and an ARGHHHHH for emphasis!

Graeme and "The Godfather" (Mark David)
Mel and Brian with Graeme (what we all wouldn't do to see that smile!)
Graeme LOVED his pirate cup holder (THANKS SARAH!) and his ship! Lily Wen is in character.
The day after the party, the celebration continued at Bi-Water Farms
Lily Wen spots the perfect pumpkin
Pumpkins, everywhere, Pumpkins
Becky and the wee ones on the hay ride

Lily Wen

We got lost in the corn maze but oh what fun it was!

Our search for the perfect pumpkin ended in these great finds!

Graeme kept seeking out the mud and he found it with his bootie

Becky found the perfect tiny pumpkin

Graeme was too busy laughing to do any work

They loved these things and would have spent the day here!

My wee farmers
For someone who is so into pirates, he was not so into this one!

A very tired wee boy after a very festive birthday weekend!

Graeme's Godparents (yes, he NEEDS two sets) Mel and Brian have BIG NEWS!
Today, they received prior approval (FINALLY) to adopt this sweet wee one
Soon to be Amelia! We can't wait to meet her!

Say special prayers for a speedy LOA and travel approval so we can get her home for Christmas!!!!!

Happy Birthday Graeme!!! I just can't decide what I like best about this post, the muddy bootie, the cuter than cute birthday cake, the big smiles on two kiddos I love, or the precious news of a referral. Wow Margaret! Keep those posts coming!

Oh WOW!!! I don't know whether to wish Graeme a SUPER Happy Be-lated Birthday first or a HUGE congratulations to your friend's!!! Is it just me, or does hearing about another baby finding a forever home make you misty eyed every time! Love it!!!

Looks like Graeme had such a wonderful birthday! He is just too cute! (And don't tell him, but that one pic at the farm with the pirate left me chuckling! lol)

Hope you three are doing well Margaret!!!
Sending a big hug your way,
