My little man and His cousin!

N I N E

Really? Can it be that long ago

since we welcomed our son into 

this world?

When our children were little,

other moms would tell me how they grow up so fast.

Some days I just couldn't imagine that the toddler

years would ever pass, but here we are

and he is turning into quite a charming young man.

He's  all boy and loves life (school - not as much)

He loves to be out exploring.

Going along to the farm is great fun for him

but his sensitive side wonders if I feel left out

because if having to choose between

going to the farm with Dad or staying home

with Mom and the girls,

Dad and the farm always wins.

But no, I don't feel left out,

a son and his loving dad is

a picture of beauty to me, it

melts my heart.

As we celebrate another year of life,

we count it a blessing to

be the parents of our sweet son!

 Because his cousin has a birthday

 the day before we celebrated

together and with two Phillies hats!

 The disadvantages of parties

 in the night, is the quality of the pictures. 

But the memories are there even

if the pictures are a little fuzzy!

Hats off to the birthday boys! 

 We love you both!
Have your cake and wear it too!


Linking up:Trick or Treat Tuesday
The answer is Chocolate 

70 years

70 years of marriage!

A huge accomplishment in today's world.

But we are meant to grow old together,

to fall in love all over again,

day after day,

through tears and pain,

laughter and joy.

Yes, till death do us part.

It takes commitment and is not for the

weak at heart.  Its hard work, but worth it.

And so,

I had the privilege of

celebrating with my

grandparents, 70 years.

And of course,

making a cake!

My grandpa has had a favorite

kind of cake for as long as

I can remember.

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing!

And my grandma's favorite flower is

carnations

and so this cake was

made just for them.

Happy 70th Anniversary,

Grandma and Grandpa!!

I wonder...

I wonder...

 

...does she know how much she is loved?

...does she see how proud her mommy is?

...if her cake made her smile?

...if she knows she is a princess?

 

 

 

I don't know the answers to my own questions

but I do know that making her

a cake, made me smile.

 

 

 

So for a beautiful princess...

...a cake, made with love,

from me to you!

 

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY

Princess Ava!
