Our sweet little Caleb Asher Arthur is NOT so little anymore! While being sick on his actual birthday - we managed to spread his birthday cheer and celebration over the next several weeks - including dinner with friends on the 25th, a steady stream of packages and cards from the States in the days that followed, and a rescheduled birthday party with friends at Miss Lorrie's Farm!
 |
| I'm telling you...this poor boy was SICK! Fever...pink eye...yucky cough...the works! He did manage to enjoy the cupcake that he and Daddy and Lucas had made the day before...and he was a really good sport while we shared dinner with the Garbers and our friend Brian, who was in town from Naples. |
 |
| Straight from Sherwood Forest...many thanks to Grammy for the fun new costume to add to our repertoire! |
 |
| Birthday Celebrating...Take 2...both our family and Miss Lorrie recovered from illnesses so that we could enjoy a party with great friends at Lorrie's farm in nearby Paterno. |
 |
| A rare viewing of my 3rd trimester self...31 weeks and counting! |
 |
| Sometimes it's just great to be a kid! |
 |
| Pony rides for everyone...the birthday boy led the way! |
 |
| Next stop: Hot dogs on the fire pit...yum! For the adults: A delicious spread of Sicilian appetizers (grilled eggplant, bruscetta, fresh ricotta and honey, frittata, etc...) Thank you, Lorrie! |
 |
| A "Sicilian" birthday tradition...at least for Caleb! Since strawberry season hits here in February/March - Strawberry Shortcake is the perfect "winter" birthday cake. |
 |
| Love Daniel's sneak attack on the strawberry shortcake! |
 |
| A sweet birthday gift from Caleb's best bud, Stevie! We have been putting that airplane together and taking it apart a LOT over the past week! The boys think having their own "real" power drill is AMAZING! |
