Noah's 5 - AGAIN!

And now for Noah's final birthday party of the year. Well, almost. I guess he has ONE MORE celebration, but we will get to that later. Daddy and I were having an unheard-of childless vacation at the end of March. Grandpa and Grandma Campbell were going with us, so Grandpa and Grandma Randolph came down to stay with the kids - and to return Noah. (Remember he went to their house for spring break? I realize I am a little slow in posting, so I am trying to keep you all in line...) Turns out a week away from each other actually made the boys miss each other. (They actually talked to each other on the phone a couple of times but it mostly just turned into a giggle/screamfest.) But it was fun to see them back together again.
With everyone here, we decided to have Noah's family birthday party. Which meant one more cake. And more presents. Grandpa and Grandma Randolph gave him a scholarship to Star Wars camp this summer. His picture doesn't show it but he was very excited. He has asked daily about when it would finally be time for camp. He also got a countdown calendar from his mommy and daddy. He doesn't know what it is for, but he knows that 72 days from then he will be getting something special. My mom can't believe he is patient enough to wait that long to find out what he is getting. (Apparently she thinks his mom never would have accepted that idea. Maybe he just trusts us more.) But the waiting might actually be harder on mommy and daddy - we know what is coming. So, like I said, one more birthday activity for the big five-yr-old. Stay tuned!
