Birthdays

We had a couple birthdays this week. First, Ashley turned the big 5-3. Wow--she's old! But she still looks like a lithe 20-something :-)

Bode and I even sang Happy Birthday. We are grossly out of tune.

An even scarier video is up next. We sang for Bode on his 16th birthday, but that video is on Ashley's phone, and it has proven to be very difficult to get files from it (even Bode couldn't figure it out). This video is the first time Bode drove without a parent in the car; here he is leaving for swim practice.

Bode drove himself to school today, and is currently out in Destin at swim practice. It seems quiet in the house without him, but I'm sure he'll be wanting to talk to us when he gets home :-) Rowdy had a bad morning a few days ago...not sure what he was thinking.

Fortunately we were able to get the stuffing back into the pillows, so the overall damage was minimal. Still, maybe we need a new sofa...or perhaps a new car?

Vroom vroom :-)
