No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

I just didn't get back into the blogging habit after our summer and with school starting, I've been readjusting to early mornings and a schedule.

I know - excuses, excuses.

But, I thought a good beginning to getting back (hopefully) into the blogging habit would be my oldest boy's birthday.

Craig turned 12 last Sunday.  On Saturday, he had a few friends over for some cake and ice cream.

Usually, I make a special cake for the kids.  In the past for Craig I've made a train, a plane, a castle, and a LEGO Knight's cake.  But this year, he just wanted a plain one.  Of course I had to dress it up somehow for his name and age, hence the cinnamon candies.

Here's his little gang that came over to wish him a happy birthday.  Craig is in the yellow shirt.  My 2nd son Adam is on the far right in the blue Old Navy shirt.  My daughter must have bounced up and down right at the snap - she's in the pink shirt.  And my little guy, Danny is the cutie behind the plates.

The day of Craig's birth is definitely one of the happiest days of my life.  My dh and I had been married 7 years and I was so ready for a little one.  He, blessedly, came a week early and was about 6 1/2 lbs.  He cooed the entire first night and I was one contented and happy mama. I love that boy.  Now he's a rather tall 7th grader enjoying Legos, baseball, basketball and life in general.
