Dan and Megan: Birthday Weekend

This past weekend we were in Minnesota celebrating FIVE birthdays. The triplets turned 4 (!) and Owen turned 6 (!). It was also Dan's brother's birthday. I'm not sure what birthday it was for David. I just know that he's OLD. Aside from the frigid temperatures it was a fun weekend. Tyler enjoys running around with his cousins and playing with all of their toys. In fact, I have a fun video of Tyler, once again, showing off his musical geniusness (is that a word?).

I'm very excited for this weekend. I will be leaving on Friday to fly down to San Antonio, TX to visit my Aunt. My mom and brother are also going and it should be a fun weekend. Ever since learning about the riverwalk in a design class in college, I have always wanted to see it. Anyone notice that I did not mention Dan or Tyler? They are staying in Iowa. Don't I have a great husband?

In the process of writing this, the speech pathologist came to work with Tyler. She seems excited about his progress. He is expanding his vocabulary and saying more two word phrases (most involve the word please or the word bye). He is also responding to the question, "what's that?" That's encouraging because normally he would have to repeat the word but now he is saying it on his own more and more. Dan and I try to get him to say descriptive words with his usual words. Like Tyler says bus, so we say good job, and then add a word to it like yellow bus. Sometimes I start to annoy myself by constantly describing things all day but I can tell it's working so it's completely worth it. =) He has also started saying Mommy. He doesn't say it too often but it's nice to not be called Da anymore (although, I still hear Da occasionally).

Alright, time for some pictures from the birthday weekend!
