Alan's Birthday

A few weeks ago, Todd's brother Alan had a stroke. A pretty serious one. Fortunately, he has shown a lot of improvement, even moving out of the ICU and into a rehabilitation floor at University Hospital. Just a week before, he turned 60 and his wife threw him a surprise birthday party. By the time we got there, Alan had been having a good time! Plenty of cocktails and a joke strip tease from his wife. I didn't get many photos, but a few of the kids who had the time of their life tearing up the dance floor. Seriously. They couldn't get enough of dancing and twirling these light wands. The first one is blurry but it captures how Abbey was using the glow light. I didn't get a shot I "loved" but these photos give you the idea. They had the time of their life. Adam was also busy running around collecting balloons. They had the whole room just adoring them. They seriously didn't stop until the music did. Also, they were kind of obsessed with the Mardi Gras necklaces. Then they both had cake..even Adam...and then ran up and down the ramp. I made sure they wished their Uncle a happy birthday on the way out. That night, it was obvious Alan had a great time and I remember thinking how happy he looked. I am glad he had that evening since I know he has many months of hard work ahead of him.
