Birthday traditions

TJ and I wonder how we will ever leave the house with three kids. We made it a tradition to go out to dinner to celebrate the birthdays of our kids. For Hunters we went to Chilis. It was a lot of fun. He was loud and obnoxious but so was every other kid in the place so we fit right in. For Laynas we went to Village pizza and then walked to get ice cream from the creamery. It was really nice but taking two LOUD kids out to dinner is a challenge but definitely worth while. I sometimes wonder how my kids are so loud all of the time? Their voices are loud, they walk loud, they both sing while they eat. Nothing is quiet about them. As I wonder how this happened I look at TJ and I and I am reminded that we are the same. Ha. A crying baby will fit right into our family. Summer is almost here. I am large and in charge already. Baby boy is measuring big, but that's not a surprised since Hunter was born on his due date and was 9lbs 4oz. I really think this babe will be a 10 pounder. That should be a fun delivery. Countdown to summer 3 more work days then our days will consist of swimming lessons, camp, walks, picnics, beach days, boating, day trips and ice cream. Yes ice cream is just as important to a pregnant woman as it is for a child. Can't wait!
