My little Ez

Sometime yesterday I remembered that Ezra's birthday was today. At least I didn't forget it completely right? Luckily I had purchased his birthday present last month and miraculously it wasn't lost in the move. I hadn't planned his birthday like I wanted to, didn't have his present wrapped, and hadn't invited anyone over. A 3 year old doesn't care about these things. We pulled off a lovely last minute birthday party and he wasn't feeling like he was missing anything. My friend Kristi made him a birthday cake, my mom brought over balloons, and Kristi brought her kids... a real party was pulled off last minute.
Ezra is pretty awesome. He loves to wear his pajamas all of the time. He is totally loves being home. I am amazed how well he is doing with the new house... he wants to be home here. His main request for his birthday was chickens... what kind of kid wants chickens for their birthday? We didn't get him chickens... but he seemed to forget about them when he opened his presents and got to eat his cake. Ezra is such a companionable person. And lets talk about his mad style... t-shirt tucked into boxer briefs as party wear is a must!

Crazy busy life



On Tuesday we got home from a 10 day vacation up to Wasilla to see Ian's family. The kids loved being up there pretending they were farmers... the weather was great and they were able to spend a lot of time outside. Eve loved waking up in the morning and going to feed the chickens. Ezra was all about the chicken eggs... boy does that boy love collecting chicken eggs. Evan just loved so much outside. He never wanted to be inside. 
In usual Roskam style we just had to check out the emergency room up in Wasilla. Ezra got a fever so we (really Ian) had to take him in for the usual blood work that goes with that. Poor boy had an ear infection.
We got home Tuesday and had our final walk through. Wednesday we signed all our documents. Thursday we got keys to the house. We started painting last night. All this business is why there have been no blog updates. Soon we will get out the camera and take pictures of our new house.
