Another rotten birthday...

Poor Hubby, for 2 years in a row now he's had super crappy birthdays! Last year our oldest daughter's car was stolen on his birthday, and today, after a long flight home from Baltimore, he wound up at the doctor for some severe side pain he's been suffering with all week. The doc sent him to urgent care, he had to have blood work done, and a CAT scan...we finally got out of there 5 hours later...starving, tired and grumpy.

Birthdays like this suck.

Luckily, he'll be ok, the pain is coming from something that will need to heal itself, so he was sent home with pain medication and some anti-inflammatory meds, and orders to rest. Not exactly the kind of gifts he wanted for his birthday.

We had just a small family celebration when we finally got home. Nothing big, or exciting, but just some quiet family time. He is such a good sport though, and had a smile on his face the whole time.

Happy Birthday Honey, you deserve so much better...hopefully next year!


We got a kick out of the fact that Bear and AJ bought him the identical card.
Showing off with the kids and some of his birthday loot.
A tiny cake with lots of love behind it.

Hey there Sue,
A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your man from all of us in SA! Hope he feels better real soon!

Your photos of the Doggie Splash with Boo Bears are stunning...wish you were here to take some photos of Mom and I together (it's hard to get those, since she always seems to have the camera.)
