Linden was psyched about her cherry on top!

We sang "Happy Birthday" and she blew out the candle of her ice cream!

Pretty impressed with herself!

Happy Birthday Linden Jane

I have gotten used to clicking away on my iphone- and not taking the time to upload pics from my camera- which are always soooo much better!
These Pics are not from my Iphone! From this morning: She got the dress-up Hello Kitty from Nana and Papa!

Happy 4th birthday Lindy Lu!!!

With her gifts this morning!








Out for a birthday scoot!








Four is going to be so much fun!
We made a deal- when Linden turns 4, it mean no more thumb sucking. "If you don't suck your thumb- you get gum!" so we are stocked in sugar free gum and hoping to kick the thumb habit!

Linden's last day at Summer camp

We have had a great summer camp for Linden in July and August! She has loved Applebee's an all her teachers and new friends have been great!! She's loved learning about trains, boats, Kevin Henkes books- especially "Lilly's puple Plastic Purse", all about Hawaii and the "hump- back, hump- back whales.... Ohhhh!ohhhh!", and the farm animals this past week! She brought home a handmade sheep that looks just like Bruno!!! (pic to come) How could we forget, searching for "jewels" in the sandbox and the finger-hugs!!!!
What a fun summer!!!!


The farm animals- Linden wants a bunny now!
