Just some photos of life around here lately....
 |
| We had two arrivals of fall leaves from Michigan! My parents sent us some, and my sister Rachel sent a whole box! Here are some from Rachel. I love having them to display around the house. Makes it seem more like fall. :) |
 |
| More of Rachel & family's leaves. :) |
 |
| The oak leaves are from my parents, and the maples from my sister Rachel & family. :) |
 |
| Me with our "lap dog"... ha ha! She actually likes this. :) |
 |
| Key Lime cheesecake I made in my pressure cooker for David's birthday... it only took 20 minutes to cook, and it tastes just like a cheesecake that baked in the oven for *way* longer! |
 |
| The Oreo cheesecake I made in the pressure cooker. Not as pretty as the Key Lime one, but very tasty also! :) |
 |
| A headband Marissa made on Saturday. She's planning to sell these on her etsy shop. That's my painting behind her. :) |
 |
| All the kids were excited to give David gifts. You'd have thought it was their own birthday, by the level of excitement here on Tuesday. :) |
 |
| Marissa's gift was *very* original... "What you may find on Galaxar... and what to do if you do". Galaxar is the name of the planet that she made up... it's kind of a joke between the two of them. :) |

A page that Jesse contributed to the aforementioned "Guide".

The card Naomi wrote for David, and that Jesse corrected (most of) the spelling mistakes. I love how Naomi is constantly trying to write things, figuring out how they're spelled. Soon she will be an *excellent* reader... this is a good sign that she's really getting it. :)

And this is the closest we could get to having David wear the special "Baby's 1st Birthday" bib he wore on his first birthday. He *really* did not want to be photographed anywhere near it! :)
|
 |
| And a fun shot of all the kids after sharing their things with him. :) |

Love the bib pic, David! :0)
Nice pictures of the birthday boy & the rest. We felt bad we didn't call on David's birthday but it is hard to do while we are gone away from home. We prayed he'd have a good day. Looks like he did. Love Ya, Mom
Thanks, Mom. :) That's alright about not calling on his birthday... we were at our Financial Peace University class that evening so we would have missed your call anyway.
David did have a good day... before the day arrived, he wasn't too excited about the idea of going to the FPU class on his birthday. But the kids & I made it a school holiday, so I think he enjoyed his day. :)
