Where Does the Time Go?

Our baby is all grown up.

19 years!!!

I want more children. When I look at this photo it seems like people are missing. Call me nuts. Go ahead.

There is always good help available when cake is involved.

Magdalena and Francesca are such loving and attentive sisters. Chessy made Lizzy a layered carrot cake (that we call a Paddington Bear cake) and Mag got her the Sweet Mint flavor EOS lip balm that's she has wanted for months. Elizabeth is super grateful!

And her cool parents got her a...

...NEW CELL PHONE! (She re-boxed it and I wrapped it. She's already been using it for almost a month since we switched companies.) I told her to act surprised.wink wink

How about that. The phone comes complete with uploaded photos of Lizzy and Aidan and lots of useful apps. Lol!

She's a good girl and we're blessed to have her here a few more months until she leaves for the spring semester of college. I take her for granted and I'm gonna miss my sweety terribly.

Later we took a trip to Lambeau and ate at Curly's. The food was terrible. I am not a huge beer fan, but the on tap Leiney's Summer Shandy made up for the food. We had unexpected live window entertainment below as we watched a few crazed Packers fans sitting and waiting on lawn chairs for Packer players to exit into their gated parking places. The paparazzi got at least four different signatures. One player denied them. Our waitress told us a little trivia. The team no longer wants to be hassled by fans, so they are building a private parking ramp attached to Lambeau (complete with a basketball court) that is not accessible to the public. The team had to pay for it on their own, thank goodness.

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!
