James Blunt & Birthday Cake

Last night (Saturday - April 19th) Sabrina & I took in a James Blunt concert here in Shanghai. Sabrina purchased the tickets for me for my birthday. Our seats as you can see from the picture were awesome. 4th row - front and center. We were so close you could the moisture from his mouth when he sang. The concert was at a small venue, probably 1500 people at the most and sold out. It was a theatre style set-up. The concert was absolutely spectacular and we are bigger James Blunt fans now because of it. Going to a concert in China is a bit different than that of one in the States as for some reason people don't like to stand. This just felt different, but about 1/3 of the way through James Blunt jumped into the audience kissed about three different people and this got the whole audience to its feet. www.jamesblunt.com

As noted in a previous blog we also celebrated Ava & Caden's 2nd birthday. We celebrated in small fashion as their birthday was the day after we arrived home from our vacation to Hawaii. We had cake and candles. Ava & Caden blew out their first candle. It was pretty funny to watch them try to blow.

We also received some packages in the mail just so you know...! Thank you Grandma Sandi for the wonderful sticker books and crafts, today we received another package of Play-Do and other fun stuff from Cousin Colin, thank you to Uncle Tom & Maribeth, and thank you cousin Abby and family. Your gifts and cards make for a bright day as the twins are starting to understand what presents are.Ava is starting to become the fashion princess as she wants to pick out her own clothes now and we think she really knows how to match at least the same colors together. Perhaps not the same same style yet...but colors... yes. Shoes are also the thing now as you can see in the picture below of Ava with Mom's boots on.
