Delayed Birthday

Missy had her birthday at the very beginning of June. But we didn't get to see her until Father's Day weekend. We hadn't forgotten though, and even though I'm a day late and many dollars short, I didn't forget to share some of the birthday photos!

We actually celebrated at Creeds Cafe with a great early supper. We were too full to have dessert and decided on a few after-dinner drinks on our back deck.

It was the first time we'd all been on the deck since we fixed the pool cut-out (where the boards were cut in a semi-circle). We enjoyed the cool of the evening while watching the birds fly in for an evening meal. As light diminished we lit a few candles.

We all had a great time together and Missy enjoyed her new beach towel. I always get a kick out of seeing my girls together!

Of course, being Father's Day weekend, my sister-in-law's dad and Danny enjoyed the spot-light too. And we thought about how we missed Daddy, but were happy at the thought that he was in no more pain.

A bittersweet day made more glorious because family is family no matter how far apart we are; we know we are always linked together.
