Happy Birthday times two!


Today is Dan's birthday (must not forget Andy's as well). He turns 27 - yowzers! Not long until the big 3-0. We don't have a whole lot planned due to lack of funds and the fact that birthdays get difficult to come up with something new every year, not to mention that the months of November, December, and January are jam-packed with birthdays and holidays for us (Michael, Kelly, Katie, Karon, Joyce, Tyler, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Our Anniversary, etc.). By the time we get to Valentine's Day, we're holiday-ed out.

BUT, this year, Dan's birthday is extra special for one very cute and adorable reason. Adelyn turns 6 months today! So, every year, Addy and Daddy (Dan pointed out this cute rhyme) will share a special day on November 10. One year is a long time to wait for most kids until their next birthday, so half-birthdays are always points of interest for them. As Addy grows up, we can explain to her that each time Dad has a birthday, it will be her half-birthday and that it will be extra special for us to make sure Dad's day is extra special (if that made any sense...)

Maybe we'll put 27 and a half candles on the cake tonight.

Got yours? Sorry for the fuzzy self-portrait.

I don't know why I have such a hard time deciding how to organize my internet life. Between Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, the Ekcetera blog, the Ekcetera website, and this blog, I seem to have too many venues for cataloging life. So here's one noble shot at it...Now that Addy's here, I think we'll try to include family times and events here. Wish me luck....
