HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TYLER!


Tyler's 4th birthday was Monday and we had his party here on Saturday. It turned out to be quite an exciting day. We were holding out hope for no rain but knew the forecast didn't look good. We were awakened in the night to pouring rain knowing that our outside tractor/machine party would have to be moved inside. The rain only worsened and a thunderstorm ensued. About two hours prior to the party, our house was struck by lightening. Kevin and I both saw sparks fly off opposite sides of the roof and you can imagine how loud it was. Thankfully, after the firefighters (yes, really) checked out the attic which smelled of smoke, they gave us the all clear and we were set to get ready for the party. It did require some creative adjustments due to the fact that we had no power to our garage as a result of the strike (where we were planning on doing the pinata). One of the wonderful things about young kids is that they could have cared less about all of our plans; they had a great time together at the party despite all the last minute changes.
