Graham is a rather shy, very serious guy…..and no he does not like getting his picture taken, at all. Ever. If you do see a picture of him, I have usually fling myself into ‘spy mode’ and taken it. But yesterday, he didn’t seem to mind.
And so when I caught this picture I was so tickled.
This is Graham. Such a treasure. Had to share….
Buddies forever.


(How sweet is that?? Isaiah and Graham are Ramen buddies.)
The three little ones went to bed before had
we had our famous Chocolate Chip Pie for dessert.
Uncle Mark thinks all these birthday parties are extra fun.

Nelly wonders why everyone else is eating Chocolate Chip pie
and she is merely watching?? Yes, Nelly, life can be a rip-off at times.
Happy Birthday week, Graham!! Hope it's been fun!!
What great pictures. I love that Isaiah gave his noodles to Graham…that is just so sweet. Hugs
Love the pictures – thanks for sharing. Saw your twitter post below. Hope that Autumn is doing well. She will be in my prayers!
What on earth does U. Mark think about all of this? He must have so much fun just watching all of the busyness of a big family!
Aw…those are great! In case I didn't say it yesterday, happy birthday to Graham!
Great pics!
Happy Birthday, Graham! Glad you allowed your mom to snap some pics to share with us all!
Now, Linny, when are you going to share your recipes for the ice cream cake and the choc chip pie… It's not fair that you tempt us so!
I can see why Mark is enjoying the parties – Your family looks like so much fun and I love the way you celebrate each other. Thanks for sharing 'you' with us in blogland.

Beautiful family!
What fun! Happy belated birthday Graham!!!
I enjoy your blog so much. I just don't usually post ~ if ever? I can't remember.
Your, Uncle Mark, reminds me so much of my grandmother in that picture. I know that sounds crazy, but there is something about the look in his eyes and his smile that reminds me of her. Granny lived with us for a year and a half when Alzheimer's wouldn't allow her to be alone anymore.
I know how difficult it can be to undertake the responsibility of caring for our elderly family members, especially with young ones in the home. But the joys far out way the difficulties and you show that on your blog. Your children will never forget this time in their lives.
My children, well all of us really, learned so much from the time we had Granny with us. And I am so thankful that they were able to know their great-grandmother.
May the Lord bless you and your family.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GRAHAM!
Looks like you had an enjoyable day.

Not to worry i don't care for my picture to be taken either
So so glad Graham had a great day!
