This wonderful man had a birthday this week... we had a very low-key, just-as-he-wanted-it celebration at the place we love to be... home. In the end, it was cheeseburgers and good company and the promise of brownies with some pretty amazing ice cream. The day looked a bit like this...
... an excruciating 4:45 am wake up call to make...
... some really delicious mixed berry muffins...
...I love that these lovelies were made with berries picked last summer from Rob's mom's blueberry bushes and raspberries from our garden, they were amazing...
... some snuggling happened...
...gifts were laid on the buffet table with care...
...and eventually opened...
How we love him... his unfailing patience when it comes to all things Jen and Kylie, an amazing ability to make me laugh, the food... my god the food, his delight in seeing others (especially me) happy, the love and concern he has for others (including one very taxing Jack Russell), his ideas and plans, that sparkle in his eyes... I'm so glad to be a part of his adventure in this life... happy birthday (again, and I'll stop saying it I promise) honey.
