Birthday Week


Yup, I'm another year older. (Any guesses from the picture of how old I am? ;-) Took the day off, went to the zoo with Kendra and the kids, had maddachschlope (dinner nap), and went to Tony Roma's with Kendra in the evening.

Had a bunch of friends down for a dessert potluck and fire on Friday night for my birthday, and John and Elda gave me this AMAZING card. Probably my favorite card ever. The only problem is that they can now track how much chocolate I eat by asking me what day's bar I ate. Those bars will be gone LONG before Oct. 31st.

Ethan and Abigail in the tub... Rarely a dull moment 'round here with those two.

Saturday afternoon we had a surprise call from uncle Albert - he had just come into town with a load and had to wait until Sunday pm for his next one. We had him down for supper Saturday night and it was just SO good to see family around here again. He also joined us for worship Sunday morning and for lunch afterwards. The big excitement, as you can see, was that Ethan got to ride home from the church in the truck! Him and I decided that we're going to trade in our mazda for a semi ;-) Needless to say, Ethan just loved the ride. It's been a good week!
Shalom

I can see why that was your favourite birthday card! And I'm sure Ethan was very happy with that semi truck ride... not so sure though about trading in your car for one. Can you imagine the gas you would need to come home and visit?!! A very important consideration.

Oh, you're right!! On the other hand, if we could pull a load from Calgary to the Peg on our way home, we might be able to make holidays a money making venture!
