Number Five is alive

The month of October is crazy in these parts. We have a weeklong birthday marathon right in the thick of Devin’s busy season at work.

My birthday was great. Devin managed to escape from work for the day so that I could enjoy a few chunks of time to myself, sans kids.

But the highlight of the week was, of course, Katelyn’s birthday.

Katelyn had specific expectations for her birthday. She let us know that when we woke her up, we were to say, “there’s the birthday girl!” She wanted a cake that was half chocolate, half vanilla. For dinner she requested to go to Apple for pizza. And we made sure she had a great day.

We love this girl.
