Ohio Birthday

(birthday calisthenics)

I was the first person to congratulate Tom on his birthday today. He was sleeping on the floor blocking the hallway, and I tripped over him heading to the bathroom at 6:13 this morning. "Sorry dude . . . Happy Birthday." Let's just say that Tom was a little angry over my "trip" to the bathroom.

Luckily, Tom's fortunes changed by mid-day. His dad and sister drove through Cleveland to join us for lunch, laughs, and a hearty chorus of "Happy Birthday." Then his luck got even better . . .

(birthday cake)

Chelsea Hanson, who we stayed with last night made a homemade carrot cake, and her cousins also had a chocolate moose cake, a white cake, and a cookie cake. Whew. No one ever said this ride would be easy, but today sure was . . . a piece of cake. Ha ha ha . . ppy Birthday Tom!

Happy birthday Tom!

You were nice when I woke you up - either you get better as it gets later, or you just like me better than Austin. Or perhaps it had to do more with the method of waking you up. Water guns sound interesting...maybe we'll try that one tomorrow!

Hope your birthday was fun, I know it was different than any of your other birthdays!
