Titus said he had a great birthday week. As is tradition, he got to pick the daily meals and movies for the week. On Thursday, we also had his best friend over for a playdate (Amber and I had ours over as well as a bonus). Then on his actual birthday we pelted him with play balls at breakfast and gave him his presents. Since he had tried to make pasta by hand the other day, we decided the best thing to get him was a pasta maker, drying rack and some extra attachments. Amber and Titus went straight to work and boy is his pasta awesome, his ravioli is even better. The bonus is he's making it with our spelt flour so we can all eat it.
Later that evening Mary and Frank came by to celebrate and eat some spice cake, which finished out his birthday perfectly.
But his birthday week wasn't over yet..... The Mc-Family came for a final celebration and the unveiling of Lance's gift they had put together the day before - Two Potato Guns. Titus didn't know the Mc-Family was coming for the guns or the special desert; roasting marshmallows around the new fire pit. Titus had wanted to do this for so long but it was raining on his birthday so we postponed the surprise to today.
The Potato Guns were a lot more powerful than I think the kids expected. It was quite a hoot to watch the potatoes fly high into the forest.
Titus likes things that go fast. He loves fast cars and especially aviation. He currently wants most to learn to fly, be a aviation mechanic and maybe a chef as well. He's extremely smart and mechanically inclined, I have no doubt he'll be a success at anything he decides he really wants to do. He is also very athletic and keeps improving with TKD and baseball. However, what matters most is his character. As parents could not be more pleased than to be able to say that his character improves each year as well. We love you very much Titus and can't wait to see what blessings are in your future.
