Birthdays and more birthdays

This week was a week of birthdays here at the Roundy's. It started out with Audrey's. She was the cutest two year old around. What would it be like to be loved by everyone, and love everyone in return? The smallest things delighted her. She is a gal who loves the men in her life. How could she choose between her 'Poppy' or Uncle Tent? I wish all of us could be so open and loving!

When Audrey was born I crocheted an afghan for her. You know how babies just pick a certain blanket that they claim as their comfort blanket? Well that afghan has that duty for Audrey. Unfortunately it has become dingy and worn. Sarah decieded that Audrey needed a new 'Wankey'. So I have been crocheting like crazy. Of course I did not get it done in time for the birthday. So I took the project in progress to show her the new and improved 'wankey'. She very politely checked out the bundle of yarn, gave it back to me and claimed the original. I will finish it of course, but I have my doubts about replacing it.

Next came Ryan's birthday. Now Ryan is very easy to please. But I am afraid that I have become quite boring with his presents. He always seems to want clothes. So a gift card to Ross seems to do the trick. He seems appreciative, so I guess I am at least not failing.

Saturday gave way to Kaden's 8th birthday. His mother is very clever. She planned a spy in training party. Kaden was in heaven. His favorite friends came and transformed into secret agents. I had to admire my daughter. She is so good and patient with little boys. They had a blast. My job was to be in charge of Lucy during the party. Lucy is a very inquisitive young lady. She can let out a very high pitched squeel when she is not pleased. To keep her happy during the party was easy. You just had to hold her and let her see all that was going on. If she could see-she would let you know! I was glad that I could contribute to the birthday cause.

Both my girls have become wonderful moms. I am proud of them.
