Today we celebrated John's birthday. (his birthday was actually yesterday) What fun! Great cake and wine. After, we had a bachelors' party! And lots of Veuve Cliquot. David gave John five bottles of Bordeaux!!!

Paul and Kathy had their wedding today, on my birthday. It was outdoors, breezy and sunny and absolutely perfect. I hope we have as good weather on our wedding day!

Today was Cameron's Birthday. David and I went to the party. We had a lovely time visiting with family and especially playing with the children. Cameron got a basketball hoop from Babci and we gave him a basketball.

Today David and I began booking our honeymoon. We talked about all the places that we'd like to go over the past month and finally decided in the last few days. After we plan out all the details, we'll share more news about our trip.

Now if I can just find some good mead to drink for a month....

Today is Lily and Puff's birthday. We will have a party this evening to celebrate. They are TWO years old already! WOW! How time flies!

We are so lucky to have such wonderful dogs!

Joan's dog Rebecca broke her leg today. She's now in a splint. I've begun to call her "Peggy" – short for "peg leg." Poor dear, I hope she feels better soon!
