Gary got to come home for his birthday. We were so glad to see him again after a month of his being gone working in South Carolina.
Abby was happy to see her daddy.
The boys were glad to see their dad.
Anna even let him play her guitar.
Nine candles on his cake. Each candle represented 5 years.
Tee hee!
We enjoyed cake and candles after Gary took us all to Cici’s Pizza, where he was embarrassed by the manager, who told everybody in the place that Gary was celebrating his 45th birthday that night. After the pizza, Daddy took the littles to Dollar Tree and bought them treats. Whose birthday is it?
He said the best present for him was being with us. I’m glad he feels that way. What a wonderful husband and father he is.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
