Little t turned 4 last week. Wow! I made a slide show for him of pictures from the last year. He had grown so much. He is such a boy. For his birthday we took him to the children's museum. Then we went to the YW camp fund raiser, a spaghetti dinner and dessert auction. The dessert auction is traditionally a very good way for them to get money for camp (example: $60 for a pie, $15 for a plate of chocolate covered marshmallows.) They were kind though and let Little t win the dessert he wanted, a cherry chocolate torte. It probably could have gone for well over $30 but he got it for $15. He loved it! He is such a fruit eater.
After we got home from the fund raiser and got all the kids in bed T checked his e-mail and found out that he was selected for Air Force Officer in the Financial Management field. It is a great opportunity and we are pretty excited about it. There is still a lot I don't know. Because of T's current work schedule I didn't get to talk to him much more than a few words in passing for the next several days. I've been trying to gather all the information and details about what all this means. Yes, we'll be leaving. But beyond that for now I'll just say it's good news and I'll keep you posted.
It is interesting to note we received the news that took us here the day Little a turned 5. I remember it, T called me one hour before Little a's birthday party started and we moved one week later. Now we received the news that will take us away from her the day Little t turned 4. Only this time one week later we probably still wont know when we're leaving. Still, it's poetic! I love when things turn out that way.
Second: T's birthday cake. This one is from the Dairy Queen at his request. I was a little disappointed because I had picked out a cake recipe I thought he would really like. The ice cream cake was really yummy though, so the disappointment didn't last long. We made the other cake last week when T's dad came to visit. It was pretty good too.
