Today was Schaeffer's 10th birthday, which now means that we only have one left in single digits. We began the day with a breakfast of donuts and muffins, and gave him some of his gifts then. But waited until this afternoon for the "biggie," which was my old Fort Apache play set that I loved as a little boy. My grandfather boxed it up over twenty years ago for me to give to my son. I wish he were alive to be here for the unveiling. See the pics below of him setting it up. We are so thankful that God gave us Schaeffer. He is a very special boy, with very special sisters, too. :0)
B'day breakfast. Donuts, muffins...
...and oh yeah, and we also had a ham. :0)

Best friends.

Wow, Schaeffer, what an awesome gift. Your great-grandad probably knew that you would enjoy it as much as Dad did. How special!
P.S. I don't know how we would ever get all of yours boxed up when the time comes--forts, ships,castles,knights, pirates, soldiers, cowboys, Indians--and the list goes on, except for the ones Sara Swynn has claimed.
