"Day out with Thomas"

It was actually, just what we ALL needed. I bought tickets to the "Day out with Thomas" months ago, as a gift for Alex's birthday. THANK GOD! Because, his birthday, being on May 5th, just a couple of weeks after Max was born, was a bust. We took him with us to buy a couple of gifts and our wonderful Laura, threw him a party at her house that day.




It's one of the few times we haven't been up to see Max right away in the morning, and we missed rounds with the doctor, but it was good to have this time with the kids. Max was doing well, the doctor know how to reach us, and he even called my cell phone while we were at the train depot, with an update.



Now, for the fun... I know Alex peed his pants when he saw that train. Just look at his excitement. There is such joy in his eyes... he was squealing as soon as he saw the train, and when Thomas tooted his horn and started moving... well, just look at his face. This was well worth the price of admission. I caught myself tearing up a couple of times, just because he was so thrilled and we were able to be there with him and share those special moments.



It did rain, and sprinkle, and rain some more, and then POUR! Luckily, the strongest storm came through while we were in the tent waiting to board the train. It wasn't too hot, it actually cooled into the 70's and who cared that we were all wet and chilled, it was great family fun!




HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!! Better late than never...
