Happy Birthday Dee!

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear younger sister,

Happy Birthday to you!

So glad that I can call you sister and friend. So glad that you are there for me and that I am there for you. Always!

Happy 53rd birthday!

Happy Birthday Sydney!

Not really her birthday - that will be on Tuesday, September 11 - but certainly her birthday party! Cannot believe Sydney is 2 years old! She enjoyed a "Dora" birthday party with all 4 of her cousins - Daniel, Alison, Megan and Karsten. Lots of presents and good food!

Her mommy and daddy had one of the big inflatable Dora jumping things (now I know there is a name for these...) - everyone enjoyed jumping - including Grandma (and notice there are NO pictures of that! )

Enjoy life!

My only excuse....

July was not my favorite month this year - my Dad being so sick and then passing away has been very hard on me to say the least.

Today I thought back on my blog and realized that I didn't put it in writing to our only daughter-in-law, Noelle, that we wished her a very Happy Birthday! Noelle's birthday was just 3 days after my Dad's passing - yep, I was kind of consumed with a thousand things to do! Now in my defense we do celebrate her birthday with the June birthdays and Father's Day and I did call her on her birthday and left a message - I just didn't post on the blog!

So Noelle, you know we love you and wish you all happiness always!
