Josh's birthday

Photographer Drew

Dave and Josh

Today was a wonderful day! Josh turned 14 and my mind is still boggled over it!

I had an early appt. this morning so we really didn't do anything until lunchtime. Jim and I took Josh to lunch and gave him a couple of cards. One of the cards had a "ticket" in it allowing him to get his ear pierced. He was stoked!!! Right after lunch we had that done and then Jim went back to work. Josh and I picked up his brother, Drew and headed for the house. We goofed around here while I made supper (spaghetti) and baked a cake.
Jim got home and we ate supper, opened gifts, and then scarfed some cake! Josh made out like a bandit!! He got lots of clothes, books, money, etc. Jim and I went ahead and got him a cell phone. He has unlimited texting so needless to say...my phone has been chiming all evening! I think that floored him the most cuz Jim and I had been telling him that 14 was too young to have a cell.

Unfortunately, Dave couldn't join us for supper. He's been feeling really bad. I think he has some kind of chest cold. He was able to stop by this morning after he got off work and gave Josh a card and the much desired greenbacks. We sure missed having you here, Dave!!!

It was really great having Drew over for the day. We had a great time and it was good to see him. Since he's moved out we don't see him all that often.

In the next couple of days we'll be gearing up to head to Indiana. I still have to scare up my shorts from somewhere! I'm looking forward to seeing Jill, Mom, and all the rest of that side of the family at the reunion. This will be Josh's first time there. I think he'll really enjoy it.
