We had a fun day celebrating Kai with presents in the morning, donuts for breakfast, and fun at school. Kai chose Chuck E Cheese for dinner and we had a blast playing together. The boys earned over 500 tickets and chose kazoos as their prizes. That made for an entertaining ride home! We finished the night by reading Kai's "Happy Birthday" book together as a family and reminiscing about the day he was born. Seven years later and our love for him has only grown. We love you Kai and wish you a very happy 7th year!

Pokemon Go!

Sage and I have had tons of fun playing "Pokemon Go" this summer! It's a great little game that uses augmented reality to try to catch all the Pokemon. It's also great exercise because you walk all over to find the Pokemon. Sage and I spent lots of time at Tower Grove Park, Forest Park, and the Botanical Gardens hunting Pokemon. But, Sage has found them in many other fun places as well. I don't have any pictures because he's always using my phone to hunt. Still...we've made lots of great memories.
