Last Saturday was a busy day for us. In the morning Dave marched in a parade. Adam, Luke, Stacy, Rob and I watched from the sidelines and cheered as he went by. Okay, actually Adam, Stacy, Rob, and I cheered. Luke slept. Luke’s a good sleeper.
I tried to get a picture of Dave as he passed us and apparently need to work on my photography skills because I barely got him in the photo (see the far right side of the pic). Also they line up in order of height and since I didn’t get any of the people behind Dave, it makes him look really short. He’s not really though – he’s 6 feet tall.
The reasoning behind my less than stellar photo is that I was more interested in catching Adam’s reaction to seeing Dave. He kept yelling, “Hi Daddy!” and clapping. It was really cute and Adam is way more fun to look at than Dave.
Despite the ultra-serious face, he really was enjoying himself. He did have that look on his face for most of the parade though. I think that the Subway mascot at his last parade might have scarred him for life.
He was very happy to have Aunt Stacy and Uncle Rob there to hang out with. Aunt Stacy helped him snag a bunch of candy too (and by help I mean she did it for him – he didn’t get out of his chair).
After the parade we went back to the house. We relaxed for a while and played with some of Adam’s birthday gifts. The wrapped ones weren’t opened until later that night and he was surprisingly good about leaving them alone.
He’s not at all spoiled right? Not shown in this picture is the tricycle from Stacy and Rob – it is parked in the garage.
Stacy and Rob tried to help me get a picture of Adam smiling by throwing the bean bags through the basketball hoop Steven and Amanda got him. For some reason Adam thought that was hilarious. I love when he gets to giggling so hard.
After dinner it was time for cake. Adam was thrilled when he saw his Blue’s Clues cake and was even more excited when we sang to him. He had that huge smile on his face throughout the song. It sort of makes me want to go get another cake, put some candles on it, and sing to him again – just to see that grin.
Also then we would have cake again. Win.
