92 Candles!

If you see my Great Grandma Irene today - be sure to wish her a very happy birthday! If you have never had the pleasure of meeting this great lady then you wouldn't know that she makes the best donuts on the planet! Whenever there is a birthday or a special event going on, she makes a big batch of homemade donuts and brings them down to the cafe in town where everyone gathers for coffee in the morning. It doesn't seem right for her to have to make donuts for your own birthday, but then again, I doubt that anyone elses could possibly measure up to hers!







Brian's vocabulary gets better and better with each passing day! In fact, some of the words he is saying we didn't even know he knew! For example, a few days ago we were driving down the road when he said "Walmart". Yes we were driving past Walmart at the time but Mommy thought maybe she just THOUGHT she heard him say it so didn't think anything more about it. A few days later they were driving down the same road when just as we passed the store, he said it again. Mommy pointed out a few other things for him to identify. He got them right but he kept pointing to the store saying "Walmart". This wouldn't seem so unusual if this was a regular shopping location for us but we rarely go there since we live much closer to a Target. The other strange thing about this is that Walmart doesn't have a logo on their sign - just the store name spelled out. We haven't been to this store for well over a month so how did he make the connection? We have absolutely no idea!
