Birthday Bonanza!

Well, the month of October has arrived and around here that means Birthdays!  We have a plethora of October birthday's in my family.  (Not to mention quite a few friends that we happen to know who share my brother and husbands birthdays!)  It goes like this:  My nephew, my Dad and Daughter (same day), my brother and my husband.  Whew!  They go from beginning to almost the end.  In fact if my grandpa was still alive they would go from the 1st to the 31st!

Today began the festivities for our immediate family.  We spent the day with Sarah's best friend and her family to celebrate Sarah's birthday.  We began the day at the Soulard Farmer's Market then had a picnic lunch in the park. 

 After that we headed to Baked Goods Pottery to paint some ceramic pieces.  We had a little adventure there.  We pulled up to the building and it said "FOR LEASE" in the window!  Fortunately I called 1-800-YELLOW-PAGES and was able to discover that they had just moved to a bigger building across town. 

For dinner we all went to Pizza Hut then went back to Sarah's friends house for oatmeal cookie bars (yes, she requested that instead of a cake!)  It was a really fun day!

What has happened to the past 12 years!  I can not believe that it was that long ago when the doctor first placed her in my arms!!  Now she is becoming a young woman before my eyes and I can not begin to comprehend how it happened so fast!  I am just glad I have been able to see every step of her growth to this point.  I am blessed beyond words with a wonderful daughter!
