Happy Birthday, Ty're!!

Today we celebrated the start of a new year at Joe's Place... and the 14th year of Ty're's life. We met Ty when he was in the 5th grade... and tomorrow he'll start his final year of middle school. We wanted to make sure today was extra special for him since it was the first year he would be celebrating his birthday without Fred... and living without him. The afternoon started with the Lindman's bringing him a cupcake tray and balloons. He was so excited when he saw the 14 cupcakes that spelled out his name. Later in the day we surprised him with a trip to the mall to pick out a new pair of shoes and then to Target for a first day of school outfit. We ended the day with the food of his choice... lobster! Happy Birthday, Ty're!!







I'll have to post some pictures of the guys rooms soon. We have been working like crazy to get them ready for the new year. We painted and did some rearranging. Carter helped by making signs with the guys names for the doors of their rooms (our 2nd student is moving in tomorrow night). Here's Ty putting away his clothes in his very own dresser!!

What a wonderful way to start the new school year and what a joy to see the big smile on Ty's face! I think Carter was enjoying his cupcake :)
