My parents recently moved to a house with land, so EJ wanted a camp out birthday party. Well, due to too many circumstances beyond our control, no one came. So EJ and his daddy just camped out, and it was still fun.
That has been EJ's mantra in the days and weeks leading up to his birthday. My answer is always the same: Let's not talk about that right now! My parents recently moved to a house with land, so EJ wanted a camp out birthday party. Well, due to too many circumstances beyond our control, no one came. So EJ and his daddy just camped out, and it was still fun. My mom made a campfire cake and EJ got lots of Legos and a pretty cool tackle box to store them all in (along with some tasty granola cereal)! Within minutes, he was elbow-deep in one of his sets. On his actual birthday, we worked at the store all afternoon. His Pawpaw planned him a surprise party, so I took EJ to the park down the road while everyone got set up at the store. When we got back to the store, family and friends were waiting! He blew out his candle so ferociously that the picture was blurry (and if you can't tell, his aunt made him a Lego cake). Another Lego set, a book about dragons, a magnetic construction thingy, and a toaster for the store! Just that morning, he had mentioned AGAIN that he needs a toaster for the store so he can have toaster strudels. Well now he has one! Even though his parties didn't work out quite like we had hoped, EJ still had a good golden birthday (when he turned nine on the ninth). Speaking of which, I can't believe he's 9!

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
