Auger's Birthday

Auger is now 4 years old!

 

We celebrated his birthday Sunday night, but his birthday was really on Monday (16th).

 

He loved his cake, and the toys on it.

 

 

The Thomas Tank Engine Umbrella was possibly his favorite gift - he was so happy to get it.

 

He also loved his handcuffs - see them on his hands ... and his feet?

 

 

We gave him this front loader and he was happy to have that too.

 

 

I bought him a dump truck, but learned that he already had one that a friend gave him, so I quickly made a change of plans. He probably would have loved it too though.

 

 

He had a great birthday and enjoyed all of his gifts.

 

And, we enjoyed the company!

Shawna and David came to visit us for a while that evening.

 

While they were here we had a wind and rain storm, but as hard as it was it caused no major damage for us. We were happy to be inside, but thought it was perfect that Auger got an umbrella on such a day as this. 

 

When David and Shawna got back to Othello they learned that the city was without power and the next morning they learned that trees were blown over in the park behind their house and in other yards in town. We have heard of downed trees and power outages and other damages caused by that storm, but ours was pretty minor compared to that.  We had a some moisture on the floor inside our French doors and had to dry that up before it caused more of a problem.

 

 

We're feeling pretty lucky!  Last thing we need is something else to worry about right now.  knock on wood! ... Like that would help anyway!
