Last weekend we went to the open house at the Chaska Fire Station. Andrew had a blast! We all got to go for a ride on a fire truck. They even honked the horn at Andrew's request. Later in the afternoon a helicopter landed in the nearby field. I think the parents were more entertained by that than the kids. 
Back to birthday week... On Saturday we had a birthday party for Mr. Andrew. Lots of friends and family came.
The theme of the party was "Dora" at Andrew's request. Thankfully they make an orange and green Dora cake. 
Here's Melina, Andrew and Tyler enjoying the cake. 
We had so much fun and Andrew was completely exhausted by the end of the day. He even told me "Mommy, my birthday is over" (and I sensed a little relief in his voice). Andrew is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new baby brother or sister. We are coming up on the 30 week mark of my pregnancy. Not too long now. Andrew's story is now "we have to get a Christmas tree and then the baby will come." He associates the baby with Christmas. I think he thinks the baby is going to come out of Mommy walking and talking and ready to play with him.
We are all looking forward to spending the holidays in Minnesota and having a quiet couple of months before baby. As always we welcome visitors!!!
