Elizabeth's 6th Birthday

Elizabeth turned 6! She was in Illinois with her grandparents and cousins on the big day, but we celebrated here at home when they brought her home. It was also Dan's birthday, and that's him in the background with his cherry pie (Elizabeth got blackberry cobbler -- yum)
She was very goofy -- I think maybe running on adrenaline?

Happy Birthday to Dan

Working in the garden inspired me -- I remembered that Dan has always wanted a chipper/shredder, and his birthday is July 7th. I thought it was a perfect idea, until I did some research and found out what they cost. Yikes! But then I found one on Rollanet classifieds, which looked brand new. All the details and timing worked out to allow me to purchase it and pick it up in Salem(30 miles away)after I dropped Zeke off at a baseball game in town there, and get it home without Dan even suspecting. We didn't try to save it for his birthday -- he'll enjoy "playing" with it this weekend since the rest of us will be gone to Forrest for the 4th of July...

For those who want to hear the power!
