Last Sunday we were going to Gage's (our nephews) birthday party and Micha could not figure out that it was not my birthday party and kept inviting friends to my party at Pizza Inn. As much as I told her that it was not my party it just did not make sence to her. I mean it is a birthday party and it is my birthday. I was reminded of a memory on my own 4th birthday (or soon around that time) the day that Kenny came home from the hospital, I am thinking that it was at least a day that we were having a party for my birthday. My memories are that I was thinking that Kenny was a present for me, It was (as I was saying about the thoughts of Micha) my birthday and here is a new thing in the house. So it must have been a present for me! Just good memories of a great childhood. As I change the 'trian of thought' for just a second...I was talking to Christine tonight about how much I love her and the normal life that we have and I now sit here and I am thankful for how great my own childhood was 'normal'. I did not have to split time between Mom and Dad and spend this holiday with Dad and the next one with Mom because that is what the judge ordered. To me sometimes it is somewhat sad that I am thankful for what I consider normality but I think that society has made it abnormilaty to be husband and wife with 2.5 kids. ANYWAY.............
About 5 months ago we officially changed our name to The Fletcher Five (formally known as the Joplin Fletchers.....some of you have not got that yet LOL) and there was a reason for that change. For those of you that have kept up on the blog but not seen anything about the 5th element in the Fletcher Five it is not that you are not an avid reader but I have not been great about informing you about the one that made The Fletcher Five just that.
Caden is just starting to want to crawl really bad. Just this week we have seen him change from rocking back and forth on all fours to moving a limb here and there to realise that it is moving him to where he wants to be. When I was talking to Christine tongiht I realised that we again have to babyproof the house for a new crawler. It just seems like we did this last year...LOL.
