Taking the Scenic Route

My birthday celebration was really nice today.  Mom & Dad took us all out to Carrabas.  Yummy!  Zane traced the mazes, drew a little, and talked about the pictures in his books.  It was a really nice meal with good conversation.

Joy was even able to make it.  I was so relieved to see her doing better.  She still has a number of weeks on the antibiotic before she knows whether she will need open heart surgery again, but at least she isn’t going downhill at this point.  They even gave me a birthday gift…some really nice photo frames.  It is something I never buy for myself but I really could use since I like taking pictures. 

We all went to Sams afterward and talked while they shopped.  Zane was talking up a storm and regaling my mom with “Wheels on the Bus” among other things.  It was really sweet. 

No posting of pictures yet.  Dh is reformatting his computer and they are on his second hard drive, which is not connected to his system right now, so it depends on how long it takes for that process to complete itself.

Funny Zane thing:  He has a little kitchen thing from Fee and there is a little table that attaches to the “kitchen” part of it.  It has one leg and normally stays up because it is hooked to the other part.  Zane brought it from his room and is trying to set it up in the living room, sans kitchen part, and it is fun to watch him as he tries to lean it against various things seeing if it will stay upright….that little mind is really working right now.  As I type, he has it leaned against the wall and is headed to the kitchen, so I better see what he is wanting to do with his table.  lol.
