Birthday Wish Lists

We've had quite a few phone calls, e-mails, and text messages about things that the boys want for their birthdays. Here's a few suggestions:

Zach

--Clothing - size 12 months
--Toys - right now he's really into throwing balls (not like we have any of those around the house), and anything that will promote walking (he just needs to get his confidence up right now).
--Heavy winter coat, snowpants, boots (size 6 - shoes), gloves/mittens, hat
--Money for his savings account

Alex

--Clothing - size 3T
--Thomas the Tank Engine - any toys, movies, clothing, etc.....he loves it all! If you find something specific and want to double check if we have it, just give one of us a call - there's way too much to list on here! :)
--"Cars" figures (the movie) - he has Lightening McQueen, Doc, Chick, and Mack, plus the movie. He had mentioned that he wanted the sheet set and blanket when we were at Wal-Mart, he has a twin size bed, if you're so inclined.
--Heavy winter coat, snowpants, boots, etc. (shoe size - 10), hat, gloves/mittens
--Thomas magazine - more information at http://www.redan.com/, or else he loves any other magazine to do with animals. (he loves getting mail, too). If you do purchase the magazine, please leave a comment on here so that others also know that this one has been "taken". (we promise not to let Alex read the blog until his birthday). :)
--Money for his savings account

Both boys enjoy books - so that's always a safe bet. :)

By no means is this an exhaustive list, actually it's a bit skinny - but just go with what you want. The boys aren't picky - anything will be great! THANK YOU!

Also, in case you haven't marked your calendars:

Bowin family birthday weekend: October 30-November 1 (parties on the 31st)

Frank family birthday weekend: November 13-15 (parties on the 14th).

Our house is available for anyone who wants to stay here - remember that we only have two extra beds, however. Let us know if you have any other questions!! :)
