Happy Birthday Pawpaw!

It was a great weekend as we celebrated Dad's 56th Birthday! We started out the  weekend with a long bike ride in PTC. We went on the International Tri path in preparation for the event in 2 weeks. It was pretty challenging and had quite a few hills. Dad and Mark were very patient with Rebecca and I and didn't leave us in the dust like they could have. Mawmaw was a trooper and watched the boys and brought Noah to me when he needed to nurse- very sweet. We all were walking a little funny after the ride but we made it! Then we tanked up at Ted's and headed back home for some R and R. Kind of- since mom was making a gourmet meal and cake- the preparation began early. We had yummy beef stroganoff and a carrot cake from Jenny that was amazing. Dad opened his presents with the help of Jacob, who handed him each one. Dad is now a fashion plate on the tennis court and has quite a collection of stylin tennis polos and gear. The next morning the sisters went for a run ( who would have thought 2 years ago we would all be running- not me) and then played some tennis. We are all getting ready for the summer season of mixed doubles. The boys and I swam and it was quite interesting swimming with the 2 of them at the same time. Noah I don't think appreciated the cold water on his toes. It was so nice all being together- I have really come to appreciate these times as it is so hard to coordinate everyones schedules.  This last pictures is of Noah checking out Daddy's chicken parmisan with fork in hand. I think it is safe to say he is going to be an eater- no worries there :)
