Last week was exceptionally busy with work and moving, but Jen and the kids made my birthday an entire week long celebration :-) OK, OK, maybe we take birthdays a little too seriously around here, but they did go to extra trouble surprising me, and making things a lot of fun! Jen even worked with the kids to make me some yummy birthday cupcakes, which were ready when I got home, so that made me feel really awesome! I am very blessed to have such a wonderful wife and kids!
Here are a few pictures that I thought were cute from this past week...

As each year goes by, and things seem to keep getting busier, I really enjoy the chance to catch up with everyone around my birthday. Yes, it sounds narcissistic to get psyched about people calling/emailing because of my birthday, but it's not that part that I think is cool...it's just a neat chance to chat for a few minutes with family and friends in the midst of our busy schedules. That really reminds me what life is all about: looking out for each other, and slowing down long enough to enjoy the moments!
This is my prayer for my family and friends throughout the next year... "May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you."
1 Thessalonians 3:12
