Happy Birthday, MinSeong!!!

I am posting a day late, but we were all so tired last night that I couldn't get any pictures posted. We actually had a pretty quiet, family day. Andrew had been up coughing for about 4 hours in the night. We tag-teamed with Travis on first duty. We were so tired we didn't even make it to church. Yesterday went a little better for him, and we found out today that he does NOT have whooping cough. Apparently, just a bad cold and cough. He slept better last night and has had another good day today. We postponed Min's tol party to the 13th. The boy's had fun making cake, as you can see below. Henry was stirring and, as a 6 year old boy, was making faces as he imagined all kinds of unmentionables having to do with brown cake batter.
Andrew getting his hands messy. He wasn't very impressed with the frosting, so we gave him a piece without. Charles was the same way. Charles and Travis went to the store to buy the cake mix, and Charles chose chocolate cake with triple chocolate frosting. (Charles favorite cake is chocolate. Henry does not particularly care for chocolate so he had an orange pop float instead. )
Andrew's present was a push-toy/ride on car. He LOVED it. I tried to download the video but it was taking so long I cancelled. I'll save it for another day. He's really on the go and can cruise the furniture and walls all around the house. We put up the stair gates the other day so we should be safe.

Getting into the toy basket.
Andrew was so cranky when he woke up on Sunday, and we were talking about him being mad and sad. Henry said that he thought he was sad. I asked him why Andrew might be sad, and he said that he was probably missing his family in Korea. I asked Henry if he missed his family in Korea, and he said yes. On your birthdays? Yes. Do you get sad on your birthdays? You guessed it... yes. I was aware that this was common. Henry didn't want a birthday party last year or the year before. Isn't that interesting from kids that some people say shouldn't remember/grieve the loss of their parents?
