Three years old already?

Where in the world did the time go? It seems like just the other day we had two kids and two babies. Now we have four, full-fledged kids. Helen and Will turned 3 Saturday, and were very proud of that fact.

We started the day by opening presents from family after breakfast. They got several fun things, including new baseball mitts from their brother Charlie. This prompted Helen to insist that now that she had a baseball glove and was THREE, she could play in Charlie and Joe's tball game later that afternoon.

They also had their first official party, at a place in the Heights called Wonderwild. Basically it's one of those indoor kid playground places, where they do all the party schmuck work for you. Kiddos and parents had a wonderful time!

We went home for quick naps, off to big brothers' tball game, and then dinner out (Mexican), where we convinced them to be pretty well behaved "now that you're three."

All in all, a great birthday for a couple of great three-year-olds.

Helen loved ALL the slides

Will preferred riding with Daddy, which he later said was his "favorite part"


All smiles and fun

Happy Birthday to You!

Mmmm, cake

Sharing with Daddy

Although she wanted to play, ultimately both Helen and Will settled for sitting in on the "team meeting"
