The Big 4-2

42 as a birthday is pretty uneventful, so I thought that I would take some pictures throughout the day to document it. Seems now that I look back on the photos that even an uneventful day can be filled with a ton of blessings. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Don't look for a picture of Debbi, she wouldn't let me take one! No complaints from you miss Dehart...


Hannah at the game.



Maddi and Ella at Sam's basketball game.


Birthday call from Mom and Dad.


Mandarin Orange cake. Debbi makes this once a year for me because I eat the whole thing. It tastes like a huge twinkie only sweeter and fluffier and gooder (yeah, that is a word).


Homemade cards from the kids...my favorite!


Supper-Pork Quesadilla with mandarin orange salsa! Very tex-mex day!


Joy gave Debbi and me a washer and dryer-Our dryer died. She had extras. It is amazing what happens when we make our needs known!


#4 beef. I highly recommend.


Lunch with the program staff at Rosies...Amy bought my lunch.


My boss Amy, working hard.


At the office. Youth associate Amanda working hard.


Maddi in car rider line


Sam in car rider line.


Sam begs me to stop taking pictures.


Breakfast of champions!


I wake up Sam.


Maddi is up awake and straightening hair...a morning ritual.


I read morning devotions


I get Hannah


5:55 a.m. We hear Hannah say, "mommy, mommy, mommy" over the monitor.

Happy Birthday you old geezer (says the graying bald guy). Loved the pictures of the family. Tell Debbi she's too beautiful to not want her picture taken.

Speaking of beautiful, Julie is ready to pop. The plan is to induce on Feb 7th. I think we have decided on Rebecca Claire.
