Birthday Party

Our last really happy memory last year, before all the worry began, was Max's third birthday party. It was a small family party, and everyone had a nice time. Four days later, he was in the hospital. Well, it has been a year. Today, we celebrated Max's 4th birthday, though he won't be four until Wednesday. We had family over, and a couple of friends. It was casual, but everyone had a lot of fun. All Max asked for was a Spiderman birthday candle, which I ended up ordering on the internet for a ridiculous amount of money (well, the candle wasn't bad, but the shipping was), but it was worth it. He was thrilled. It was hot, so the kids played in the kiddie pool and sprinkler, while the adults sat in the shade. I can't think of a nicer way to spend a party. Max got a basketball hoop which he is thrilled about, a Buzz Lightyear backpack for taking to the beach (must go to the beach sometime). He got some great games, too. I don't think he could have been happier.




Here are some picts. Unfortunately, for some reason, we didn't

manage to get any great pictures of Max, but hopefully you will see how much fun he had.
