Happy 13th Birthday Sveta!

Today we celebrated Sveta's birthday! She was so excited.



Dennis and Alex kept asking me if it was Sveta's birthday or theirs. They just wanted to make sure.

No trick candles on her cake this year-- so she blew them out no problem!

Sveta enjoyed all her presents.

It was pretty cool that Sveta could count her money this year!

Cousin Matt and Jenn

My Mom-- the great potato salad helper!

The weather couldn't be nicer. The pool was fabulously refreshing!


"Don't splash me!"

Annalyn and Gina let Alex push them into the pool over and over. Alex loved this!

Rachel knew it was only a matter of time before she would be back in the pool.


Dennis is back to loving the water. I took him and Alex in every day this past week and insisted that they stay in for at least 10 minutes. It paid off with Dennis who now loves the water all over again! Alex is still not quite there-- but he will be.

Sveta we love you so much! Thank you for being such an amazing and wonderful daughter! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Sveta! Did you know that The Specials won 2 Webby Awards? They are coming to the USA for the award ceremony in a few weeks. I guessed it was your birthday because your Mom wrote about how much you love coconut cake in another post. I like coconut macaroons and think you will too, here is a recipe http://www.joyofbaking.com/CoconutMacaroons.html

Christine, I like the way you are slowly replacing all the kids photos with newer ones, it is great to see how they are growing up.

Happy Birthday! Pool parties are the best! My daughter Grace just had a pool party for her 11th birthday. But we have a pool in our neighborhood, not in our backyard. You are very blessed!

Happy Birthday to Sveta! I love the picture of the two boys in the chair, wondering if just maybe it is their birthday....so sweet. I know your life has it's share of trials, but I think the fun and joy of days like this make it so worth it.
