I was touched and so was Bob when he showed me the post cards and appreciation card from his co-workers in Brasov Romania. His co-workers wrote really nice individual notes on the back of the cards. It is so nice when people take the time to thank and appreciate you.  Bob is retiring next week.  I am so happy for him.  He will have more time to smell the roses.

I got a little behind on family and friend events.  Here are some photos of a small celebration of Bob's birthday with a few family members that are here and that could make it.  If you click older posts there is also a photo of Liam's graduation and a picture of Lincoln's birthday and his cake.
The photos of Bob's birthday party were taken by various phones.  I didn't take my camera.

Bob and Barb, Happy Birthday Bob! Celebration at Fogatas

If we look tired it's because we had a bad day.  But, I won't get into that.

Liam's Kindergarten Graduation (the 4th boy from the left in the front row)

I was invited to Liam's Kindergarten Graduation.  I was kind of filling in for his Grandmother, a very good friend of mine who is living in Australia.  But I might add that even if she were here I would have still gone if I  were invited.  The theme of the graduation was Hawaiian. It is such a renewing experience just seeing the excitement on their faces.

Lincoln's First Birthday (his birthday and party was in April)

Lincoln is Tamara and Bill's baby.  He is also the brother of Liam and Sydney. He has been a very sick boy. After Having surgery and going through a lot of tests the doctors said they think he is going to be OK.  I won't go into the details but I consider this a miracle. We are all so happy for Lincoln and his family.  He is a  sweet, cute boy and there is something very special about him. Lincoln is still doing very well.
