William turns 3!!

Today is a special day -- William turned three! He was very excited about his birthday, especially since last weekend we celebrated Cousin Emily's birthday. William wanted to blow out Emily's candles which Emily was not too thrilled about. So today he got to blow out his very own candles on a cool chocolate puzzle cake -- another creative production by Tom and Kim. Right when we were reading Kate's blog, Kate herself called! How cool is that? Thanks for calling Kate. I figured out how to do skype.com too. isn't it cool? Now we are debating whether Emily, Isabelle and Morgan are all going to spend the night at Mimi and Grandad's house. It is going to be a rocking night at the grandparent's house tonight. I think we should all spend the night here. Love, Aunt Molly

Happy Valentine's Day!

From Birthday princess to the dancing queen

Emily had a sweet birthday party with all the makings to stuff polar bears. Andrew arranged a fun twist to an old favorite .."Musical Bears" and of course Tom's cake original! Morgan crafted a beautiful bear on canvass and Isabelle contributed to Emily's love of art with her own set of blendy pens.
The princess by day transformed into a dancing queen by night. Tom and Emily had a father/daughter dance to end the birthday celebration(s) (at long last). Oh, to be 8 again.........

Emily turns 8

Emily woke up this morning with smiles. Breakfast is our time to celebrate. And we had a sweet celebration for our Emly this morning. Her breakfast request was double chocolate waffles and fruit. Tom printed out the many faces of Emily and we used them as chandelier decorations. She had many presents to open. And she was delighted. Morgan called to wish her cousin happy birthday. She was sent to school with her favorite snack to share with her friends. It was a happy and blessed morning. Tom and I are so thankful for the gift of Emily. Happy Birthday my little girl.

Look what I found! Molly has left a new comment on your post "Memories from Christmas Past...":

to be honest, I have not checked out this site since it first got started and I am VERY impressed. I have no clue whether this post works or not but i'm experimenting. ford has his last basketball game tomorrow. they have lost EVERY game the entire season so please keep your fingers crossed that they win at least one! ford got asked to be on an ALTA tennis team so that is pretty cool. Morgan is busy doing her rockclimbing -- that is quickly becoming her new sport. I even have a harness so I can belay her. she has been asked by the Coach to join the climbing team when she gets a little older. the rock climbing wall is just 5 blocks away so an easy walk. but the biggest news of all is that last night Shannon got asked to be an official assistant coach for Ford's new baseball team. He has always been an unofficial assistant to the assistant but this is a huge deal. the head coach is a really nice guy who lives very close to us. the cutest thing is how excited ford is about it which is very sweet. shannon is already studying all the rules so he is ready to be the one to argue with the officials (sorry Grandad, but you will have to not say anything rude since now you will have an official role as the "Father of the Assistant Coach." I am feeling pretty powerful as the "Wife of the Assistant Coach" (I already got business cards made). All the other parents are going to be trying to schmooze me thinking I can help their kid get moved up in the order. Maybe I could even have a reserved seat in the bleachers. Maybe I won't even have to bring snacks! yeah, right. I told Ford I would fill in for Shannon when he could not be there which scared him a lot. thanks to those of you who checked out the updated Croft web site.
