Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Cara, happy birthday to you! Wishing Cara a happy birthday. I went and had lunch with her today at Olive Garden and we will be spending birthday dinner with her parents and mine at Phil and Jeanne's. It's nice to have family around for these special occasions! The kids made her some extra special birthday cards. They are so sweet and love their mommy! As for her present from me, she bought it herself a few weeks ago. A new I-pod. She's so spoiled, but worth it! Now tonight I will have to show her how to use it.

Is fall in the air?

It looks like it might finally start showing signs of fall. Today we had some much needed rain, the drought has been terrible around here. The leaves are changing colors and starting to litter the lawn and blow around the streets. Can't wait until I have to blow them and pick them all up. Although it is fun to get them into a big pile and let the kids run through them. I remember doing that when I was a kid. What a blast!
