My girl turned eight.  Jesse took off work so we did swimming lessons and went out to lunch as a family.  Then dad took her to pick out her present (a new bike and new shoes) and we went to her brother’s t-ball game.

Today we celebrated with her classmates and painted pottery.

Usually we are in Michigan for her birthday so being able to celebrate with her friends from school was a great treat for all of us.

I took terrible pictures because I need to work with my camera more.

And yes, I moved back to WordPress.  I’m still working out a few issues so let me know if you stumble across any problems.
