Our baby boy is now a year old. My, how time flies. Kari is a pro at singing "Happy Birthday" to Gary; she's been singing it for 3 days now. My mother-in-law, Jerry, went all out and had Gary's birthday dinner at her house. She made quite a feast: Smithfield ham, fried rice, pancit (someone gave her a recipe for this popular Filipino dish), kielbassa sausage, yeast rolls, chicken wings, vegetable medley, mashed potatoes and deviled eggs (contributed by yours truly). I volunteered to do clean-up since she worked so hard on the memorable meal.
Jerry also made Gary's birthday cake using the pan shaped in the form of the number "1." Homemade fudge frosting atop a chocolate cake...decadent.
Lolo and Lola called from Virginia to wish Gary a happy birthday and were sad that they couldn't be there to celebrate with him. They're both feeling a bit under the weather. They already sent Gary's birthday present: a Leap Frog spin wheel teaching the alphabet and the animals associated with the particular alphabet letter in musical form.
Gary received many toys and a couple of outfits from his aunt, uncle, cousins and grandparents.
Happy Birthday, sweet boy. We love you so much!

Love, Tamra
P.S. I just saw Tricia up in Rockville, MD where she was attending a conference. Didn't your ears burn as we gabbed about you? Anyway, being with friends is such a gift!
It's great to hear from you, Tamra! I appreciate the good wishes. Hope you and your family are doing well and we wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and joyous New Year!
I wished I was there when you met up with Tricia in MD. It's wonderful to keep in touch with friends after all these years!
