Doug's birthday weekend

I'm finally back to a little blogging.  Life couldn't be busier these days. I'm recovering from an early detected Pneumonia today so in order to force myself to lay low (the prednisone in me is making me wired) I'm catching up on the blog as Loo Loo plays trains next to me. This is my third post today so scroll down if you want to catch up on us too.

Sunday was Doug's birthday and it couldn't go undocumented. Of course there was church in the morning and that evening happened to be when I was feeling the worst, but we tried to make the best of it.  So here are the pictures to prove it.

Doug is never happier than when he's with his kids.  Here he is unwrapping one of Mer's specially wrapped presents.

Luke, who thinks it's his birthday every day had to help open one too. I think that one was gum.

Meredith made the most beautiful cake for him.  She has had a picture of this cake on her bulletin board for months now and has been dying to make it for something.

This is what it looks like on the inside.. It even had lemon flavored frosting. yum!

And here's a rare shot of us two.

Happy Birthday Doug,  Sorry I wasn't feeling better and that you had to cook most of your own dinner and do the dishes and get the kids to bed, on your birthday.
