And after the meal a cake with only 18 candles and the group crazy song, of course.
Tuesday the 18th, I started the day with some of that fine Alliance World coffee.
Wednesday, Skye found a baby chipmunk and revived it with some peanutbutter on a toothpick.
Sadly, he escaped in their house the next day and was later found dead.
Thursday Sam brought another birthday gift--a book I had asked for, also coffee related, quite a fascinating story by the one who started Alliance World Coffees. I happen to have a photo from a couple weeks ago of author and book.
Friday we went to Elijah's pre-school graduation--a sweet program and a fun family time.
The children sang and then in pairs quoted a Bible verse. His was Genesis 9:13.
Meanwhile, Auntie Leah and Uncle Jimmy enjoying (?) baby Zion.
Today, I got to enjoy his sweet kisses...
...when he wasn't watching Elijah play T-Ball.
yea for birthdays! glad yours was so great!
ReplyDeletewhen I was young, my brother and I found 3 baby chipmunks. we nursed them to health and kept them as pets for a while. We ended up releasing them but one would come back every year for about 3 years. great picture.
I need to look up this coffee.
love those baby kisses!!!
Happy birthday! My husband had his birthday this week too. :)

My kids all used to play t-ball. It was so much fun to watch.

ReplyDeleteI missed your birthday!!! I'm so sorry :-( Glad you had a great week though -- loved all the photos, espec. the one of you getting kisses from Zion (too precious!).
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to celebrate your birthday (the 18)! Nothing better than those baby kisses!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Love the whole "18th birthday" thing. I may have to take on that idea for myself. I would get to be "17." Yes!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad about the chipmunks. Those have to be among the cutest animals in the world. Seriously. I freak out with excitement when we spot one in our flower beds!
You and your family are sweet. But you already knew that, didn't you?
