Yo Ho! Yo Ho! The Pirate's Life For Me!

We've been busy, busy bees lately! We saw the train display downtown at Duke Energy, visited Murray Bros. to get some yummy treats, and had lunch on Fountain Square! We stayed up till midnight to ring in the new year - 2009! The girls banged pans on the front porch and we all toasted one another.




Thursday, Captain Austin celebrated his 1st birthday! It was a pirate party!!!! Each swashbuckler was given his/her very own treasure chest filled with gold. Captain Austin loved his cake - a replication of The Flying Dutchman. He made out like a bandit and acquired lots of loot and treasure from his guests. Daddy was so proud when Austin recieved his first Lil' Tikes Jr. Quad. It is the cutest thing...Austin can actually get on it by himself, push the peddle and motor around the living room. I will have to take some video of him riding it and share it later. Poor Captain Austin had 2 new teeth on top pushed through during his party, as is evident in his two red, feverish cheeks. He was a tough pirate though and didn't let it ruin his fun!
