Attempting to celebrate...
I flopped this year. I'm no idealist, but I *do* have something in my heart that really believes people should be celebrated. Birthdays seem to be the most opportune time to do that in our busy culture, .... or.... not. for. me.
Pregnancy and temporary relocations, the breathing in and out of company and the fact that we are too old, and our kids are too young can all justify reasons why we didn't do much this month to celebrate 3 out of 5 of the birthdays in our immediate family, but truth be told, I just don't have a handle on planning for these things yet. And I'm learning that I'm not great at "throw it together last minute" kind of stuff. Blah. So, although there were no streamers, people jumping out of cakes, or bouncy castles, here's the birthday announcements for this month.

That cake of Brian's was amazing. Sorry I didn't get to admire it and drool in adoration over it enough after hg last week. Life.
The pic of Ry stuffing his face - purely edible. Love. It.
Looks like Ry actually enjoyed the cupcake! So many of the one-year-olds sit and stare like they don't wanna get dirty...
And Linds? You're totally right. Too old/too young to expect huge parties. 29 is kinda anti-climactic and Ryland will appreciate bouncy castles so much more when he's seven. The redeeming thing is that Brian's cake looks fantabulous - and that took planning!
