So many Birthdays

I missed writing a Birthday greeting for my nephew, Elijah. It was March 26th, while I was homeless and computerless. He's a delightful 6 year old and one of he funniest people I know. (Oh, and he's a stunt man, too.)

Also missed in the shuffle was saying Hello and Happy Birthday to Paul's sister, Lara. She's a dedicated educator and a super Mom to her two strapping young boys.
(An old picture of Lara & Max from Christmas/05, but one of my favourites.)

And TODAY we celebrate 3 special people!
Paul's sister Deb ... still waiting for her blog to get up and running.
She's just a wee bit distracted right now by her upcoming wedding (July 14).
Deb and Dan
My nephew Mixon is 10 today! Unbelievable. Max and I chatted with him yesterday. He was a little sleepy-headed but did manage to tell me that he likes being 10 because he's older now. While living in Japan for the last two years he's been morphing into a boy I don't know if I'll recognize when they come home to Canada this summer! Not usually fond of having his picture taken, this must have been a weak moment. I'll tell you this, he's an avid reader and cyclist. Be sure to check out their family's new adventure of Balancing Life on Two Wheels (no car!)

And finally, my sister, Laurel-Anne is 30 today! Wow, she's so old. And wise. And smart. And pretty. And a great mom. And an educator. And a student. And an ambassador of Christ. And a good wife. And my dearest friend. I love ya, lady! (Sorry, no recent pictures of her. Picture: Baby on hip while she is organizing, educating and entertaining 3 busy boys, and having a fine meal on the table when Hubby gets home from work.)
