Here we are trying to blow out candles

Still trying and finally all 6 are out. Good job.

Having fun with the blowouts.


Our faithful photographer! Thank you Emily for video too.

Andrew woke up today 5 no more but 6! We have talked all week about birthdays and how fun it will be to be 6yrs old. We had a real time trying to find his birthday cake though as most bakeries are still not up and running yet from the hurricane power outages. But even this became a first birthday memory. When we finally found a chocolate-chocolate cake at Kroger Andrew excitedly told all around us that it was going to be his 6th birthday tomorrow.


We had planned to have a small party and were so thrilled that both sets of grandparents could make the trip. He had a very special day with "Cars" decorations. It was so neat to see him open presents likely for the first time on his birthday. He wasn't even sure what to do but quickly caught on.


Kathlena wanted to blow out his candles so she had a turn after he blew them out too. It turned out to be a little warm but we managed to have a nice party outside and then quickly headed into the house for A/C. Here are some pictures from Andrew's special day. We love you, our sweet son!
