6!

Joshua Gebeyehu officially turned 6 this weekend.

For the very first time, he was a totally happy, completely secure birthday boy.

 Because his birthday was the day before Thanksgiving and we had decided to road trip to Uncle Reed and Auntie Emily's house for Turkey Day, the most fun part of his day happened first thing in the morning when his dad and siblings swam with him at the hotel pool.
 The remainder of the day was spent like this. . .
Over this holiday weekend, we logged over 2000 miles in the car.

Ugh!

Thankfully the kids are amazing travelers.  We drove straight through - from 5 am to 9:45 pm yesterday.  We stopped 4 times - ONLY 4 times!  That is pretty amazing when you are traveling with a party of 7, one of which is pregnant!  There was next to no fighting and even less whining.  We are blessed.

Although it was wonderful to see Reed and family, we were really thrilled to get home.  This Fall has been full of road trips, and this family is more than ready to hunker down for the winter.
