Where does the time go?!  There are periods of my life that I have totally forgotten, and then there are days that I remember in full detail.  Five years ago today was one of those days.  We ended up holding a tiny baby boy that night, a boy that would change our lives, and now here we are, five years later, with a big kid!  A sweet, helpful, strong-willed, intelligent, smiley big kid.  I feel very fortunate today.  (&#8217;cause it&#8217;s all about me, you know!)<\/p>\n<p>We had pancakes for breakfast and I made him a silly card (crayons and construction paper at 11:30 last night!) to start his day off right.  No presents, yet.  Alan has a geeky one for him this afternoon.  I&#8217;ll let Alan tell you all about it some other time.  Lex took his &#8220;moon rocks&#8221; to school and everyone was wishing him a Happy Birthday.  He was super proud, and thrilled when his teacher noticed his shorts and t-shirt.  Eve and I made cupcakes this morning and we&#8217;ll have them at snack time.  Alan and Lex are going to an energy meeting tonight.  They are both excited.  Eve and I are going grocery shopping, and a little less excited :)  I need to start planning for the birthday party (non-party) this weekend.  I think I&#8217;m going to stop at the balloon store while we&#8217;re out today.  That will make him happy :)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2533\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2388.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2533\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2388-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Lex with his cookies\" title=\"Lex with his cookies\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2388-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2388-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happy 5th Birthday Lex!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2534\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2389.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2534\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2389-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Lex and Eve\" title=\"Lex and Eve\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2389-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2389-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2534\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The birthday boy with his proud little sister<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2535\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2394.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2535\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2394-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Artwork\" title=\"Artwork\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2394-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2394-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A little morning artwork.
