Now, before I posted these pictures, I noticed in most of them, Evan looks pretty mellow/somber. We can't blame him. The day before he had 103 fever, and at an 8:45am Dr's appointment on his birthday, he was diagnosed with an surprise "treat": strep throat. A bit of a bummer, but he was able to keep his spirits up playing with his new Geotrax Cars sets, his other gifts, and a Redbox rental.
One funny thing about his birthday - Evan wasn't the only one sick, Amy and Livy were, too, so I was in charge of meals for the day. When dinner came around, I needed something that I could do. I brought up pictures on the computer of a pizza and spaghetti, and asked which he wanted. He was pretty clear what he wanted: pizza. Well I started to talk with him about making pizzas, maybe even individual pizzas for the kids, and his response was even more clear: "No. Drive, Dad. Drive." I won't complain - I love Gatti's pizza and I love ordering out, but now I know what he thinks about my cooking. :)

"Drive Dad, drive." That is awesome--we were thinking of Evan on his birthday and talked about him over breakfast. Hope he's feeling better...a small package should arrive in a week or two. :)
I'm so so sorry that Evan and the others were sick! It sounded as though Dad was a bit of a hero to his day though! :) Can't wait to celebrate a late birthday party with you guys for him - and hopefully all of your family will be well enough to enjoy it too!
So sad that Evan, Amy and Livy were
ill. Dad did a great job making Evan's birthday a happy time.
The candle on the pizza was very
creative. We pray you are all healthy again.
