On their actual birthday, the quints' preschool teacher Debbie made them all crowns. So far they don't seem to mind having to share the spotlight on their big day. For their birthday cake at home we sang to each of them separately so they could hear their individual name and blow out a candle without having to "share" the song or candles.

The kids' birthday isn't until tomorrow (our time), but we celebrated a few days early on Saturday. We had a very low-key bike/trike/skateboard "rink" in our community's Teen Center. The kids had a great time! Gavin and I really enjoyed it too, as did Big Brother Isaac, as you'll see . . .
HUGE thanks to Aunt Karen Weaver for all the photos, and to Aunt Mandy and Ellie and Deb Barton for cakes/decorating!

 |
| Isn't he handsome? His bike is practically a permanent fixture, he rides it so much! |
 |
| Thanks for coming, friends, and thanks for praying for and caring about these kiddos for over four years now, everyone! |

| Getting to draw blood for Gavin's yearly aviation medical certificate checkup. He has good veins, so it was great. :) (Samantha Burns, I feel like your soul sister now!) |
 |
| This is David making his "king face" on the chair he decided was a king's throne. What a funny face he thinks kings make! Will just smiles nicely while Marcie laughs at David's impression. |

| Aunt Karen is always a good sport with fun ideas. Who would have thought that filling up large bowls with water from the hose could be SUCH fun!? |
 |
| Gracie's wild abandonment to sheer water-play happiness! |
