Disclaimer: still in summary mode...
We helped my dad celebrate his birthday early in the month
and then my very own January baby celebrated his seventh birthday a few weeks
later. And he had a very clear vision of
what he wanted for his cake: a chocolate
chip cookie cake with a penguin and an igloo.
Sometimes the preferences of my children crack me up. Fortunately, this one didn’t require too much
decorating skill, so I was happy to oblige.
In addition to his well-thought-out cake, we also had a
little family gathering for his birthday.
It’s so nice to be close enough to have family join us for these
everyday moments. And I know they enjoy
being able to watch the joy and excitement firsthand.
Although we might not be getting much snow this winter, we
are getting our fair share of wind. The
gusts can be extremely loud at times.
The building that holds the town hall and library in our town proudly
claims to be located ‘on top of windy hill.’
Our house is across the street from them on top of another hill and I
think I might consider fighting them for the title. After all, our very blustery weather is
pulling our house apart.

Our house may be looking a little bit shabbier lately, but
at least our kids are well dressed. One
of them anyway. He’s been wanting a suit
coat just like Dad’s to wear to church for months now and we finally found
one.
I’m not sure I’m comfortable with
how grown-up it makes him look, though.
Seriously. When did he get so
old?!
