We celebrated the birthday last night with The Kings at Nagoya. Jack and Wyatt were amazed by the hibachi grill....that is after Jack screamed with fear at the noise of the cooking utensils hitting the grill...It was a short lived scream and soon he was happy again. This morning we woke up bright and early and took Allen for his birthday breakfast at Honest Abe's Donuts (my FAVORITE). Tonight we are celebreating with hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, and black eyed peas (Allen's favorite).
Did you know that the birthday boy likes to run. ALOT. Allen has done a handful of 1/2 marathons and a few full marathons. Last Novemeber we ventured to New York for the NYC marathon and this Sunday, 10/10/10, Allen will be running the Chicago Marathon! I am so very proud and amazed at his drive and self control...he has done every bit of the training without a training partner all while working hard all day and being a new daddy. We are VERY excited about the trip to Chicago and all the yummy food we will eat while there. My sister, Meagan, is going with us and we are thrilled about going to the America Girl Store....Allen said he will wait outside with Jack :) Please pray that we have an easy flight with Jack and that Allen has a good and safe run!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! LOVE, JACK
