Happy Birthday, boys!

Both of the boys here celebrated birthdays recently. Sam turned 24 a week ago today (Thursday) and Canaan turned 1 month on the 6th. Yay!! 

For Sam's birthday, he got some of his favorite coffee in the morning and we went out to eat that night to his favorite restaurant - Five Star Day Cafe, where he got his classic meatloaf and mashed potatoes, which I have to say, is really good. Then we went to a bar with some friends - actually, it's called something different but we can never remember, a tavern or something? - called Trappeze in downtown Athens. Some elders from one of the big churches downtown started it and it has like, 1000 beers on tap or something. Not really, but it has a ton of them. It was really good - I actually found a beer that tasted good for once and Sam had a great time, aside from the fruit fly that decided to take a dip in his drink. Sam's parents were in for the weekend for his bday and to hang out with Canaan, so they watched him for us... it was really sweet and our first date without the little guy! The next night they took us to Outback for Sam's birthday so he could get a big juicy steak. Yum. 

For Canaan's one month birthday... I think we said, "Hey! It's Canaan's one month birthday!" For him, a celebration is when he gets to eat, which is almost all the time, so I think he was happy on his one month birthday! For Sam and I, it's been such a great month, and a total whirlwind. For Canaan, I imagine it's been a good month - what can you say about someone's first month on earth? It must be crazy in a lot of ways! 

Here's a shot of the birthday boys - this is how Canaan is right after he has one of his celebrations:
