My first baby is half way to getting his Learner's Permit

Provided they don't change the age requirement to greater than 16... Joshua turned 8 last weekend.We invited a family from church over for lunch which made it all seem a little more like a celebration.(Amy, please note the "dinnertime read aloud" books under the cake!)

Then the day after, I turned... well, let's just say I'm half way to being officially Old!Jeff bought me Orange Lion Tulips in memory of my awe over the beauty of God's creation in the flowers at the Bellagio flower conservatory during our driving trip across the western half of the USA last year. I love him more every time I walk past our dinner table!

Happy birthday greetings to you both! And BIG {{hugs}}.

Love those dinnertime read alouds. :) The Mary Poppins book looks beautiful, as well.

Love to all.

By the way, Toby's hat-cake did me in. I'm ready for the grocery store cake next time, or else just a plain, but tasty, cake. Both of these cakes look delish.

Wow - your updated sidebar pics of the kids are great (wonderful smiles thye have)! They certainly do grow fast though, huh?? Makes me feel a bit old(er) to have a 9yo. But it's so nice to see them learn & grow also and have sch great conversations with them!
Happy Birthday Joshua!

ps. Our 5th baby (girl!) was born at home on Feb 1st (my hubbs' birthday!) weighing in at 10lbs (??kg) and 22 3/4 inches. Just wanted to let you know since I've been absent from the blogosphere for a while and don't see you on FB. Hoping to post photos of her on my blog soon....

Happy birthday! Hope you and Joshua both had great days. The flowers are gorgeous and a very special thought.
And PS - you're a long way off being old, I think we are just nearly grown up :D
