Eric’s birthday was August 21st and we had a party for him on Sunday the 22nd. Eric had a good turn out for his party, his brother Duncan, sister Lilliana, cousins Stephen and Chris, plus his friends JC, Olivia, Helena. Eric got a good selection of presents and of course a chocolate birthday cake. A fun time was had by all.
The party started around 4 PM with games for the little ones. They had a game of Dinosaur Bingo, followed by a Dinosaur dig in a sand pit and then cake with Dinosaurs on it. If you can’t tell Eric’s favorite thing right now are Dinosaurs. He can tell you the names of most of them, not bad for a 3 year old.
For his birthday he received several different books about Dinosaurs which he promptly sat down and started to look through. He also likes Spiderman and thus received a couple of Spiderman toys, one is a Spiderman car and a Spiderman web set.
There was only one minor injury during the party when Olivia tired to be Spiderman and took a header off the stairs. It sounded worse than it was and the next day she was fine with no marks to show for her experience.
The parents had a good time. There was beer and food for everybody. The beer was the most important part, which is true for any gathering of adults.
Now that Eric has had a good kick off to begin the age of 3, we are looking forward to all that it brings. He starts preschool in a few weeks. It’s just 2 days a week but we hope that he starts to enjoy it.

Next week Duncan starts Kindergarten.

Welcome!

Welcome to a weekly or so update of the live of the Ewoldt Oshiro Family.

I hope to keep family and friends up to date on us and our daily trials and joys. Because this is an open site viewable to anybody I won’t be posting vital information. If you need to get a hold of me you can e-mail me at bewoldt@comcast.net.

I am Brian Ewoldt, and my wife, Karen Oshiro, have 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl. The Boys Duncan who is 5 soon to be 6, Eric who just turned 3 and Lilliana who is a little over 3 months old.

Karen and I were married almost 7 years now. I could not think of anybody else who I would want to be with. She is very much a part of me. We started our family quickly after being married and then managed to space out the other two kids about 18 months apart. We enjoy every day with them and it is amazing to see them grow. I can hardly believe that Duncan starts school this year.

I hope to bring you daily thoughts and updates on the kids and us. I also hope to post pictures here so you can share with us as our kids grow and develop.
