Joel turns 7!


Can you believe it? He's so tall for his age (still ABOVE the 95th percentile) and skinny. He tolerates school, but, really, school is a bother because it gets in the way of his playtime. He still has a soft spot in his heart for Thomas the Tank Engine, but Pokemon and Star Wars Legos have taken over his interests. He loves computer games, too.

On September 11, his actual birthday, we allowed him to bring some friends with him to Chuck E. Cheese. It was a good time to go, since it was a Thursday and not too crowded. He had a blast. Then, on Friday when Jacob and Hannah came home, we had a family party at home. He LOVED being king of the day and perhaps took it a bit too far when he wanted to boot Daddy from his seat at the head of the table.
