So, Paul surprised us by coming home from the army base for the weekend...so we celebrated his birthday too....since him and Verity's birthday are on the same day! This is him opening his gift from us...it was a small, portable bar-b-que.....in the shape of a large metal lunchbox....I thought it was kind of unique! He seemed pleased with it!
here's myself, Verity, Honour and Lauren......Verity and Honour are very excited because Verity just found out that one of her gifts that Lauren and Ryan gave her was a pair of Princess walkie-talkie's...they were told they could talk to each other in their bunk beds at night..:0)
......all four candles......
Paul has Honour on his shoulders while he tries to blow out 21 candles.....he didn't get them all!..but it was a valiant try...
Couldn't resist putting in this one of Jairus......8 yrs old....doesn't he look like teenager-hood is just around the corner!
So, it was a busy weekend.....the Fireproof movie and dessert time was a big success,....Saturday had us looking everywhere for a new trailer fridge...still no luck......then Sunday, busy in the morning with MountainKids (sunday school) then everyone for a big spaghetti dinner (for 15 people), french bread and Caesar salad...then birthday cake....a good but tiring day....
this week is already turning out to be very busy.....babysitting grandgirlies yesterday, plus quilt class, plus Maya's baseball game...today, taking Emma to the surgeon for her annual checkup....she had a tumour in her lung 5 years ago, which they removed along with 2/3rds of her lung.....then another baseball game for Maya..then take Maya to the church for band practice this evening......then I wonder why I feel so tired all the time!
You know you're getting old when you start daydreaming about retirement!
