Birthday Time Again

The 4th of our family birthday celebrations came this month.  It was my turn yesterday to celebrate another year of life.  I spent the day on a 9 hour trip in the car (more on the trip later), but it was good & relaxing.  I started my day with a good breakfast with great friends.

Isn't that great my birthday breakfast includes a box of Milk Duds?  That was a special touch from the kids :)   

Birthday morning with the Greens

Love this family! 

Even got a cupcake!

We had a good lunch at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants I just learned about this year. We ate at the location in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thankful for these fun people to spend my birthday with

My delicious lunch

For dessert, we stopped outside of Birmingham for some afternoon yogurt.  Clearly food was a theme of my birthday!

Love my girls

Thank you to those who have been a part of my life these past 43 years.  I am thankful for all the people God has put in my life at different seasons.  Even though life is hard & not always as pretty as a picture on a blog, I am blessed beyond measure, no doubt, & am thankful for the people who I share my life with here. So thank you family & friends for loving me & encouraging me yet another year.

Installment #5 - last edition

This is the last in the installment series of Isabella's photos.  Today is a photo shoot she took of Brook.  All Brook & Isabella did a great job with her photography.

Isabella is not a fan of getting shots...or even her finger pricked.

Welcome to some pictures from Jr. High

Installment #3

When looking through pictures on Isabella's camera, you can be pretty sure you'll find some of cousins & the Greens!

These sweet cousins are as close as they come.

Kissing cousins!

Love that smile

Not wanting to say goodbye

It's good to have friends who are like family too!

Pretty little dancers

We are looking forward to spending time with all these special people this month!
