Today we celebrated Joey's 10th birthday. How can that be? Wasn't he just born the other day? And yet, here he is:
Yesterday we went to Petco and got Joey's present, the newest addition to the Houseful of Blessings Zoo, who has had many names, but I don't think it is quite settled yet, so I can't say for sure what his (or her?) name is. But anyway, here it is:
Grandma and Grandpa, Omi, and Uncle Sock and Aunty Lynn came up for the big celebration. What a blessing to have family who cares enough to drive up and celebrate with us. Joey chose lasagne, garlic bread, salad, and Buster Bar Ice Cream Cake, which was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
Friday we had a great day too. We took the day off of school and went down and did our annual Christmas Shoebox shopping trip. It takes forever for everyone to pick out just the perfect thing for their boxes. The kids spend their own money on this every year and each make their own box and they look forward to it so much. After that, we spent a lovely afternoon with the H family, where we always have so much fun. I'm pretty sure Cara will post pictures of the afternoon, so I won't.
Saturday also was the big SAT test for Cara, and I'm sure she's glad that's over. Now we gear up for Cara to get her tonsils out on the 20th. Should be fun........NOT. Poor girl. After she recovers from that, she can study up and get her driver's permit. And Ralph can teach her to drive. Not me. :-)
That's all for now. I will try to be a more faithful blogger. No promises though. Life is sure busy in the Houseful of Blessings these days! Ta ta for now.
