Our two youngest boys have birthdays 13 days apart so we usually, with their blessing, combine the parties into one. This year it had to be Minecraft! The cakes were so awesome & there are so many of your kids who are Minecraft crazy like mine I thought I would share a few pictures real quick.
Okay, seriously though, it's not funny anymore! They can stop growing now! Today my middle son turns 8… what happened! How did he get this big? How did I get this old? Why does it all have to change? What time is it? Where are my pants? You kids get off my lawn! … Sorry, I lost track there for a minute. As I was saying he is 8 years old today despite all his neurosis (he was awake pretty much every hour on the hour last night even with a good dose of melatonin) he was pretty happy this morning. I surprised him with his favorite breakfast this morning pancakes in funny shapes & my wife made bacon! My birthdays don't really depress me anymore…the kids birthdays… those will knock the wind out of ya!
On a short side note if you don't know about the webshow
Autism-Live you should check it out! It's a great resource & a lot of fun! Aaaaannnnnddd since your are already going to check it out now that I gave you a heads up on in you should totally tune into the show next week on Jan. 22 at about 11:15 or so to see…. me! I have been on a few times & it's always fun! Between that & a great opportunity I'm a part of next month where I will be speaking on a panel at the University Of Oklahoma's Children's Hospital about Autism, Immunizations, & all kinds of interesting stuff!

First, those cakes are AWESOME! My son had a Minecraft birthday last year - I spent 4 days making a cake and when he sees that you had a pig...my name will be MUD! Cake envy, it's a terrible thing. Second, we are so excited to have you on Autism Live next week as part of our Blog-Au-Rama! I can't wait to catch up with you! Thanks for the shout out.
