October 27th is a doubly special day each year. It was the day Mike was born, 35 years ago, and the day Matthew was born 3 years ago. So this past weekend we all got together to celebrate their shared birthday.
It seems pretty evident that Matthew is going to be musically inclined: we know that because for the past couple months he has been insisting that he wanted a trumpet for his birthday. So guess what he got! And to make sure there will always be plenty of music in the Ferreira household, and to provide backup to Steve's rockin' Guitar Hero, his Uncle Mike and Auntie Robin got him a drumset. Oh joy! Poor wee Jack. With Matthew we tiptoed around and spoke in whispers whenever he slept; Jack...well that's a different story. He has learned to sleep through most things, and he is not even that bothered by the drumming, but those symbols can sure give a wee lad a fright and necessitate a diaper change.
In any event, we had a lovely time thanks to Kris and Steve. Kris made Mike his favorite: birthday cupcakes; and Matthew got to share those... plus his own Mickey Mouse cake. No sugar overload that weekend!
And since we won't be there for Halloween, the boys modeled their costumes for us as well. Have you ever seen a skunk as cute as that?
