Scott never wants us to make a big deal about his birthday... but he did have one about ten days ago. He's 41 now, with braces! We had a fun family dinner at home, with chocolate walnut pie for dessert. I didn't get many pictures as I didn't have many subjects willing to pose for very long, but I like that the kids are all in this one with Scott.

Happy Birthday, Babe... I think this is the 26th birthday that I've gotten to celebrate with you! We are definitely getting older... but you get better all the time. :-)

We're In This Together Now...

Yep, I'm not the only one! We celebrated Scott's fortieth yesterday. With an end of May birthday, it has often fallen on Memorial Day weekend. Always nice to have a three day weekend for his birthday. Of course Memorial Day isn't celebrated in China and we all had work and school this past Monday. However, Scott's birthday landed on the Dragon Boat Festival this year, and so we all had Thursday off. We managed a night downtown for he and I, swimming with the kids, grilling dinner on our little deck, and even a couple rounds of golf on this long weekend!

Happy Birthday, Babe! You're getting better all the time. :-)

Daddy's Birthday

Lots of help with those candles!

Hi-Chew from Madelyn... one of our favorite candies here. Happy 39th!

Weekend Happenings

Just a few photos from the holiday weekend... Scott's parents were here visiting and one of our favoite aunt & uncle pairs joined us, too! We enjoyed the church yard sale and classic car show, butter burgers at Culvers, time on the trampoline, an outdoor concert and gardens, a fire on the patio, Scott's birthday celebration, all the junior high bands and Cub scout troops in the Memorial Day parade, and lots of talking!
