Catching Up

Its a cold but sunny morning and we're enjoying the sound of birds outside and the streaming rays of light into the kitchen. It seems like a good morning to get caught up on a few happy memories.  Adam had a birthday this past weekend and we had many happy celebrations together.    Happy Birthday to our dear Papa! 

Our goofy little lady riding her "Beep Beep" with her fruit basket as a hat.  In spite of getting five teeth she is as busy as ever

 In the middle of winter we try to have special meals together- complete with fancy dishes, special menus and candlelight. This one happens to be from Valentines Day.  The dishes were my Great-Great Grandmother's and it is always a celebration to bring them out into daily use.

Adam's birthday meal request- roast beef, potatoes and asparagus.  Emmie had her first real taste of roast beef.  It was a hit!

On Sunday we went out to Lebanon and Emmie got all dolled up

We went to celebrate two birthdays- Adam's birthday and Dad's 70th birthday! What a special day! Happy Birthday Dad!! We wish you all of God's greatest blessings in the year ahead. 

Emmie will always beg to be held by her Oma.

It was a special treat for Emmeline to spend time with her cousins, especially cousin Ilijana who lives in Pittsburgh.  They played a special piano duet.
