Birthdays

Old age is always 15 years older than I am.
~ Bernard Baruch

I celebrated my birthday yesterday. Being a dad of small children, what better place to celebrate than at a place of lights, glitter, loud music, laughter and fun: Chuck E. Cheese! We seem to have a lot of birthday celebrations there. It’s a great place for the kids, and the clean up is very easy. Probably the best part of the day was having the kids sing to me, especially Michala, who is almost two. She tries so hard to sing the words, but of course, not all of them come quite right, which makes her singing all that much cuter. And of course, the clapping and cheering at the end is of particular joy to her. She thinks it’s her birthday, too, so after I opened my presents, she wanted to know where hers were.

Every day I thank God for my family, and I especially did yesterday. I’m blessed beyond measure. God is good.
