June 25

We fell a bit behind with celebrating birthdays in Adam's immediate-extended family, so today we drove up to Adam's parents' house to shower some attention on the March through June honorees.

(Yup. A lot of March and April celebrants in this family -- and Isaac representing June.)

Anyhow, as we sang happy birthday and watched the lot of 'em blow out the candle, it once again occurred to me that birthdays are blessings. I'm not sure that I love adding years to my own age --especially since my next birthday will be a big one-- but every year we get with friends and family is a tremendous gift.
