School Birthday Celebration

We also had a birthday celebration at school.

We sang a special song:

The earth goes 'round the sun ...


The candle represents the sun. I walked around the sun three times, once for each year I've traveled this Earth.


We celebrate your birth
And your place on the earth.
May the sun, moon, and stars
Bring you peace where you are.

And, finally, Chloe and I handed out napkins for my birthday snack!

The next morning, Dad and I did some computer work.

This is me taking a few minutes of solitude out on the back deck. Hey, give me my space!

We'll close out this post with a self-portrait. I call it: Shoe gazer.
