Celebration

Just some shots from my wonderful birthday...enjoyed an "oh-so-appropriate" sermon at church, a lovely lunch by the river, and then a "hike" on the nature trail we have never explored in all our 4 years of living out here. In the past we've always had a child who needed a stroller or wagon...but this year...on this simply gorgeous afternoon...the little Indians walked the entire way. I felt bittersweet about how much they've grown since we moved to the country...especially baby Trevor.

Deven is all boy...walking with his stick.




On and off since I was 16 years old I have been treated to a Paesano's (yummy Italian-ish food) birthday dinner by my parents. The new one has a great fish pond on the patio. The little Indians love to watch & feed the fish (and act silly). Helps pass the time for restless young'uns who are hungry.

It took a lot of convincing for Trevor to join his siblings for a group shot...

...but it was worth the wait.

It's also tradition for the kids to choose the cake theme for Mommy & Daddy's birthday. This year, in honor of one of our new fave movies, I was treated to an Enchanted cake. Perfect for my enchanted birthday.


Excited for what the year has in store for me/us...
