Another year gone by, I was once again spoiled for my birthday. The birthday fun is likely not over. John sent me money for shoes and clothes. My mom also wants to help me for my next trip, a laptop luggage with wheels. I had a hard time carrying it...
Our little Rubà turned two today! Just one day after my birthday (I so wanted her to be born on MY birthday!), comes RubÒs special day. Rubi had a very sweet second birthday. We are so blessed to have her in the family.
The world is a rose; smell it and pass it to your friends. Persian Proverb Petra and Leoni sent me flowers for my birthday… Between mother’s day and my birthday, my room has never looked so cheery!
After the egg hunt, John and I were off to Perth Zoo for the Docent Birthday Party. At this point, he had his camera, and a good thing too, he took lovely photos of us!
Laura decided on a small get together at home for her 18th birthday. Of course this was her third such get together, this one was just on her actual birthday. So Laura had a nice birthday month, and we had a very sweet Thanksgiving, and the Ravens won! 🙂...
( Should be “Enric’s Birthday” I know. It’s just that this WordPress doesn’t like apostrophes in its titles. It crashes the whole blog every time). So October 21st is Enric’s birthday and I fixed one of his favorite meals, Canalons. I also fixed Fideus, in case our guests, The Moore...
Today we had a nice family gathering for Miquel’s 22nd birthday. Naturally food, fideus specifically, was part of the meñu.
After an early party, Silas really did turn 4 years old today. Since rarely any in this household simply have a birthday DAY, we usually have more of a birthday week or month, we carried on the celebration with just something small for his actual special day. It was decided...
Today was the boys’ birthday party. It had been ages since we’d been to the house, it was good to go! Here are some photos of the day: (Click on the images to see them larger) Happy Birthday, Connor and Aiden.
This year Miranda decided to have Silas’s birthday party a little early. Just like last year, it was held at Lake Waterford Park. Perhaps I should pause here and give the reason for the “dirt” cake: A while back Silas was annoyingly and repeatingly asking for something to eat....
We are not short of events in this household this week. Today Rubí turned one years old and got a taste of her first cake! Miranda made her something not too sweet, not wanting to introduce sugars yet.
I can’t believe that sweet little bundle born a year ago is now walking and keeping our household well on its toes! I am so thankful to God for our little precious and that I get to be such a part of her life.
In time for Australia’s May 11th, but a little early here, John’s birthday present arrived. To say the least I was overwhelmed. What is it? What do I use it for? Obviously it’s a flash for my camera. Am I ready for this? So, once I figured out how to...
Mothers Day, Two Birthdays (mine and Rubi’s), upcoming wedding)…. This is and already has been a very busy week. Yesterday, besides celebrating Mother’s Day, we also started celebrating the two birthdays. This is the beginning and so much more to come this week!
Miranda chose to celebrate her birthday at Laura’s workplace, the Texas Roadhouse.
We, along with Silas, were invited to Cameron’s 4th birthday celebration at Chuck E Cheeses. When I told John what we were doing, he said that was an awful name to give a place to eat for children. To an Australian, the name Chuck E Cheeses sounds awfully strange. So,...
Yesterday we celebrated Laura’s birthday. Heather and Chris arrived first. Then, Miquel and Enric get this wild idea. Since technically the addition hasn’t yet been approved for living in, and things have been left undone and could be for awhile, why not get the ping pong table from the barn...
Today is Enric’s birthday, but tomorrow we celebrate, so for now, I like to reflect on him as he grew… Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
21 years old would seem to ask for a big party…but still dizzy from travel, Miquel seemed happy enough to allow his mama to get away with a small family birthday party. I suppose on his birthday, all is well as long as there are FIDEUS!
21. *sigh* Looking through his old photos, it doesn’t seem that long ago he was so little… Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Today is Silas’ birthday. He will have a party later this month, but today we had a small family celebration.
Today we celebrated Daniel’s birthday. With some fun at the pool… Miranda walks baby Rubà around the pool… …while Aiden does a dive belly flop into the water. Silas preferred to try out a new bike that Connor and Aiden brought. Bikes going down the hill seemed like a fun...
This is a special birthday clip. Enric was turning 9 and we chose a 50’s theme for the occasion. A lot of music preparation went into this day. We didn’t have the children dress up, but the decorations were 50’s theme and we even had a jukebox piñata. In this...
Yesterday, my actual birthday, I had a very relaxing day. We had a nice family dinner together, ordering take-out from Texas Roadhouse. I got even more presents! Petra sent a designer doormat. I know what attracted her to it, the art work is tremendous, and the subject is birds! So...
Well after a good day at the zoo, the next day came with a mini celebration for Miranda’s birthday. With a cake… Ok, this post was supposed to be about Miranda’s birthday, but Silas stole the show with ice cream cake! 🙂
Today we went to Cameron’s birthday party! It was also a treat for Silas! Laura (one of his babysitters) holds him in the kitchen. Silas gets chased by a girl with a gun! Cameron opens presents. The cake! A kiss for mommy.
Our Thanksgiving was spent at Linda and George’s. Everything was perfect as usual. Anxious for food? And yes, that is Miquel sitting on poor Jenny’s lap! AFTER the dinner…Jenny and Miquel look done for! Laura is sitll alive though. Some just prefer good old peanut butter and jelly! Celebrating Laura’s...
Laura’s birthday party was a small gathering of family and friends. What wasn’t expected was the HILARITY that made the meal and cake. Yaya made a funny and the laughter didn’t stop all the rest of the night. We started the evening with one of Laura’s favorites, Alaskan crab legs....
Today was a birthday party for Aiden and Connor. Blowing out the candles… Eating cake… New Toys! Balloons! More Photos HERE
Seems like yesterday we went to Britney’s second birthday party… Today she turned 21. Earlier in the week Britney messaged me on Facebook to see if we were coming to her party at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I had never gone there and all week, my mouth was watering to try...
Laura turned 15 today, and this weekend with some events planned and some left to spontaneity turned out perfect. Laura’s birthday weekend started with one of her favorite things ever, snow. That night Laura and all her friends and Miquel went to see Twilight She had a sleepover with Heather...
In our family, spring brings on a slew of birthdays in a row, starting in April, and not slowing down till end of June. The addition of Petra to the family didn’t change that. No sooner have we calmed down from Linda’s birthday, it’s time to celebrate another. This photo...
It’s Linda’s birthday! I love my big sister. Today we celebrated. George invited all of us to The Bayou in Havre de Grace. Most of us feasted on crab cakes. They were perfection. We had a great time with little Connot and Aiden. Images of the celebration are...
Today is my mom’s birthday, so we filled the house with flowers… Happy Birthday Mom! Â
It’s truly a blessing to have lifelong friends. When the friendship just holds to the time when your daughters become as good of friends that we were at their age…..when that friendship carries on to the point when their grandchild turns one, and you get to be a part of...
It’s hard to believe my baby is 14. I remember 14. Because I remember 14, I appreciate the young lady Laura is. She is bright, lively, energetic, thoughtful, and loving. 🙂 Just don’t get on her bad side. 🙂 Laura decided to spend her birthday, this year the day after...
and...
