birthday fun

I celebrated my birthday last week. Above are the flowers that Michael snuck into the bedroom to surprise me. The were beautiful! My mom came and spent the week with us (best present of all!) She brought with her a trunk load of plants and flowers (sent to me by my sweet grandpa)...

We had a lot of fun planting strawberries and herbs on the back deck...
In just a few days this little treat had appeared...
And I hate that I missed getting to post this photo of this guy from February...

He turned seven years old the week we moved. We had no internet at that time. I was lucky to find the camera. It seems a bit sad to just now be posting it, but I couldn't leave such a huge gap between six and eight :). He may be a year older, but one thing has not changed...he is still awesome!
