Hello everyone,

I finally have some more pictures to share. We celebrated T's 33rd birthday and Zoo's 1st birthday last Friday. Then T.L., J.A., Bean & Bug came at bedtime to stay the weekend. I'll share the birthday pics today and then the rest later in the week:



Here is Fess eating her little pizza that Grandpa made for her.

Lili likes her pizza with Ranch!

Deuce liked her pizza and sitting next to Daddy at his birthday party!

Here is one of the birthday boys! His supper treat was take out from Famous Dave's, one of his favorites!

The other birthday boy! He had his supper before, then just shared with everyone.

This is what happens every time his mommy is in his sight, but not right next to him or holding him!

Notice the smile and Mommy's hand in the same picture!

Still smiling!!!

He wasn't really sure about the presents, but he liked the colors!

Daddy really liked this gift--a Packers hat!

The girls all wanted to help Zoo open his presents.

They also wanted to help him play with them!

He really enjoyed the things that made noise, of course!

Making sure that Mommy was still there!

He really liked this toy. When he put the balls into the top of the toy, they roll out and make a noise that sounded like a giggle.

We can't forget Daddy's birthday presents! He got a Brewer's jacket, a T-shirt and a DVD set of Ken Burn's "The War".

Zoo had his own little cake for his first birthday.

He liked the candle and of course tried to eat it!

Mommy replaced the candle with a fork!

This is really fun!

It feels so smooth!

And it tastes good, too!

Yum, yum!!!

Daddy had his cake, too, covered with footballs and baseballs, of course!

Back to Zoo, making his way through!

He's really enjoying himself!

But, as you can see, he really didn't eat that much. It was just fun to do it!


We had a great time! It was lots of fun, and even more when the rest of the family got there! I'll share those pictures later.

The most fun about times like these is seeing how the grandchildren have grown and grown up since the last time we were with them! They all have such unique and individual personalities. There is never a dull moment and I wouldn't miss it for anything. I am really looking forward to watching how God uses them, and their individual gifts and talents, as they continue to grow into who they are! It makes me want to make sure I am being all that God meant for me to be, too! How about you?!

Have a great week,

Shalom,


Robin
