Today was Taylors birthday.

Today was Taylors birthday. He came into our room this morning while we were still sleeping and said, "Happy Birthday to me!" Needless to say he was excited to be seven. I don't know how many times he checked the digital alarm clock in our room to see what time it was. Twelve o'clock, the time of his party, couldn't come quickly enough.

He invited his class to the party, and the theme was army. Ellyn made a camo cake with soldiers on top. She took small hot dogs and shiskabob sticks and made over a hundred corn dogs. We all loved them! The kids ran an obstacle course, hit a piÒata, and had a water fight with water balloons and squirt guns. It was a warm afternoon, so the water fight was perfect. Pictures will follow and I'll put them on Taylor's web page in a day or two.

Tay had invited his Ecuadorian friend, Christian, who arrived quite late, but was dressed up and brought a small gift. We can't communicate much with this little boy, but it's neat to see Taylor trying to speak Spanish with him and want to be his friend.
