Birthday Boy

Liam's birthday party was pretty great.  Everything went really well and he was as cute as he could be.  We managed to get him a nap in before everything started and that helped get him through the afternoon without any big trouble.  He seemed to really like the cake.  I think he takes after his Uncle Paul a little though.  He started off by pinching off icing from the side and eating that.  He didn't really get into the cake until DeAnne pushed his hand down in it pretty good.

We came on back on Saturday night so we were able to make it to church Sunday morning to hear Bro. Johnny Powell's testimony.  DeAnne and I both have been through some pretty tough medical issues but nothing near to what Johnny's been going through.  Still, I think it gives DeAnne and I the ability to really understand better what Johnny was saying.  It was incredibly powerful and I'm glad we made it back in time to hear him speak.

The final two purchases utilizing the tax refund, and thereby exhausting it, have been made.  First was the new iPad.  It's probably the last thing I'll really get to buy myself.  Unfortunately, the demand is so high it's probably going to take three weeks for it to ship.  We also bought a Canon T2i digital SLR camera.  This is more for the baby but really it's kind of for DeAnne.  She's always been the picture fanatic and she's done some amazing things with just a point and shoot, so it'll be interesting to see what she can do with something closer to a professional camera.  It also shoots HD video and while it's not as easy to use as a dedicated video camera, I think it'll server the purpose for at least the first year or so, especially since we've got DeAnne's phone which takes pretty good video on it's own.

See you Thursday.
