He knows all too well how nosy I am – he planned it almost a month early so that I wouldn’t be suspicious at all. Well it worked. We went out for dinner and then to my mom’s for what was supposed to be a family bonfire. I was completely shocked to see a bunch of my friends and family there too. My sister Betsy and her boyfriend Nick flew in from DC with my niece Stella. It was so wonderful to see them, even though we missed my other sister, Amy. And I really couldn’t believe my good friend Heather came all the way from Seattle. I hadn’t seen her for over 7 years! We had a great weekend catching up.

I actually went the entire weekend without taking a single picture, but Scott snapped this one of Heather and me in front of the house we used to live in: 4079 9-6-2009-2 Heather & KatieAnd another snap of Nicholas and Stella saying goodbye at the airport – before all the tears started flowing!

Showing off his hook…

He was pretty excited!

I was going to make a costume for Sylvia – in fact I already had a tutu complete, but then I saw this & had to get it. Now the tutu will be part of her birthday outfit :)


This little dumpling learned how to crawl today too – on her 8 month birthday!


We celebrated this year at our church where there were lots of games and candy for the kids. Nicholas had a great time till the very end when we decided to get a bunch of the kids together for a picture. Notice who is missing???  Oh yes – the photographers kid!

We had to get one of Sylvia and her little buddies (Juliet, Stella & Bryce) too who were all born pretty close together.

(Me & Sarah by my dad’s plane before he flew us to Nashville – 1999)

But I always told her that I would have many more of the ‘fun’ birthdays than she would.  Once we were both past 21 there weren’t any more fun milestones to tease me anymore – now it was my turn.  So far none of them have been as much fun as this one will be.  Hence the blog post.  Just my way of rubbing it in a little bit :)

(Looking for something Sarah??? – 1999)

We have many memories together – being lifeguards at AJ’s, spying, going on vacations together, double-dating with her cousin’s – odd, thinking we started a fire in Gatlinburg, writing papers for eachother & getting caught, parties at the river, singing in the hot tub, making videos, trying to teach me to dance and lots more!

(Picture I took of Sarah and her beautiful family this week)

Hope you have a great birthday Sarah! Next year I will still only be in my 20′s again!!!
