Edmund's Third Birthday

Wednesday was Edmund's third birthday. We had a fun relaxing day of playing and celebrating. Edmund got to open his presents, homemade blocks and a children's Bible, from Jaired and I in the morning.

Besides getting to have me spend most of the day reading to and playing with him, Edmund also was invited to him Oma's house for a visit.

Then in the evening we had the family over for a big dinner, and, of course, more presents.

Edmund has been learning to count over the last few months and just the other day mastered counting to ten, so as soon as he pulled this Abucus out of its wrappings he starting counting all the beads.

Edmund loves to read and was not at all put out that almost half of his presents were books.

When it came time for cake Edmund was so excited he didn't even wait until we were done singing to start blowing out his candles.
