My birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. Will and I didn't even really remember that until Sunday, but he still did a great job of making my day very special. . . even on short notice.

The special breakfast Will made for me

(The white sticks are asparagus!)

We all went to the beach together.
This is my birthday cake.


Fun with Papa

Believe it or not, this is the first time he's gone swimming all summer! I take the children all the time, but usually without Will. He swam so much that he wore himself out. I was laughing at him all the rest of the evening, because he was so tired.

And we got ice cream!

I think I told them a month ago that we would have ice cream on my birthday. They certainly hadn't forgotten that.

Friends

When we got home, some of the youth from church were waiting for us, with a cake, flowers, and a present. Will had planned to put our children to bed and fix a nice dinner for us. Instead, we had a great time of fellowship with friends. So, it turned out that my birthday dinner was ice cream, with cake for dessert. But now we get to have a special dinner tonight.
