Adam's Birthday

Adam turned 33 this past week and we celebrated with cake and more cake.  First a super nummy ice cream oreo cake from DQ while G&G S were here, and then a William and Mommy made cake which William liberally decorated with sprinkles.



I haven't gotten many pictures taken lately, as I am commanded to stop when I do start. So here are the two I got in before being scolded.



William and I braved the icy roads to drive to Iowa this weekend to celebrate a life well lived.  My Great Aunt Anita passed away at age 96.  She will be missed.  She was a very strong and wonderful woman.  Sad how you learn things after their deaths, but I learned she was an ER trauma nurse for 36 years and met Amelia Earhart at a seminar.  The service was nice and the lunch afterward did have Iowa funeral jello (a concoction of fruit, jello and cool whip), but only orange, sorry Dad no green stuff.

I got to visit some of the relatives as I haven't seen them since I was down there with William when he was one year old.  Good short trip, just wish the roads had been a bit easier to drive on, we got caught in both heavy fog and ice.  Not a good combination!

My parents left for Australia on Monday and are enjoying the summer weather and visiting.  We will connect up with them tonight to get an update on their trip. 

Have a good week, take care.
