Happy Birthday, Evan!

Today was Evan's birthday. Eleven years old! It was a little anticlimactic because we celebrated on Friday while Michael was still here, but I thought I should still mark the day, on the day. And he's pretty happy since he got everything on his list (at least the original list before all the "Oh yeah, and did you remember that I wanted?s" kept being remembered by him after all birthday buying trips had been completed. He must be pleased with the selection as he's been playing with most of them since then. Got some cute pictures, but if I wait until I can get enough computer time to download/upload I figure I'll never get anything on here, so the account in word only will have the suffice for now.

I heard from Michael, and he and Clayton have made it back to FW after their big (very cold) backpacking adventure, so I think everyone is back home safely from all holiday travels. Are you home, Barb? It's not that I don't trust God with everyone's safety, but I like to know everyone is back where they belong. Let's me rest easier. I'll be in FW on Tuesday, hopefully, barring any major problems. So I'll see everyone there soon - yea!
