I’ve been celebrating my 28th (thanks BruB) birthday this weekend, and as with each year, it’s always very special. I received a lovely gold chain plucked right off my amazon wish list from John (or who we very affectionately call Mr. Dolphin around here), to get the birthday started early,...

My children seem to have been blessed with a mom who doesn’t just believe in a birthday “day’. It always somehow stretches into a “birthday month”. They don’t seem to be complaining. The first celebration Miquel had for turning 16 was basically just the family. Yesterday, we invited a few...
