Zach's 5th Birthday

Dear Kate and Riley,
Well, October will be a busy month for us from now on. Luke on the 8th, Zach on the 12th and me on the 16th. So, when Luke was 4 days old, we had Zach's 5th birthday. Since I thought Luke would be like two weeks old at that point I had told Zach he could have a little party. I was about to call it all off but Grandma Janice stepped in to help. We let him invite a couple friends to Chuck E. Cheese after school on his birthday. I wasn't going to come but just couldn't bare the thought of missing out completely. So, in a move that only a mom of a 3rd child would make I brought Luke to the cesspool of germs-- Chuck E. Cheese at only 4 days old.

We love you Zach! He is such a great older brother and friend. He has been such a good helper since Luke came, even though it was a little bit of a rough transition. He loves anything active-- his bike, scooter, running races. He has such a strong personality and is always the one organizing games and things among his friends. He loves books and coloring. He played soccer for the first time this year and loved that too. He got his first "little" legos for his birthday and is officially obsessed. He loves playing games with mom and dad-- trouble, memory, etc. We love our Zachy!

Love,
Mom
