His birthday, God bless him

Well, Andy says we made him feel very special for his 35th birthday (on the 3rd). But I am not sure how special one can feel when cooped up in bed with a back ache. Not only that, but cooped up in the house with a grumpy wife that is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. It's been a bit crazy. But hopefully he did feel special, because he really, really is.

We gave him a framed picture with a few crafty touches and a couple of gardening books. The farm really is his happy place. I love seeing him enjoy himself there.

His request: homemade chocolate cake with butter cream frosting.

Her little birthday message

The kids and I made the icing and Mimi made the cake. It turned out well. Look at that handsome boy with the mixer.

Our feeble attempt (along with balloons everywhere) to decorate his "sick room". Yesterday was his first day up and moving. Hopefully by Monday he will be good as new! With his 35th birthday it's official, we have known each other more years than not. I adore him more than ever!
