Special birthday breakfast!

Eli had a sweet card from his best friend Hans in the mailbox.

Tracy, my best friend from high school sent me this picture of our boys on Eli's birthday. Now they are both 10! It really does not feel that long ago that they were both babies!

Our traditional birthday interview with Mom.

It was a gorgeous day for Eli's birthday and we enjoyed a visit to SpringBrook Nature Center.

We also stayed the night at The Great Wold Lodge in Bloomington. We enjoyed the waterslides, the boys got to do the high ropes course, Asa went rock climbing, Greta panned for gems, and we all enjoyed a game of bowling. We had a yummy breakfast at Patrick's Bakery, which is a French restaurant in the cities. Fun was had by all!
