birthdays... an excuse to get together with family

The summer months hold many birthdays - and with Jarrod and my extended family having doubled this year- we have many excuses to get together and celebrate each other. :) Most recently, Jarrod's parents and sister, Brooke, came to Charlottesville to watch one of Jarrod's softball games and celebrate Jarrod's birthday a bit belated, and we had the opportunity to celebrate Jarrod's mother's birthday, as well. Additionally, my sister, Denise, came to visit a day earlier than initially planned (to celebrate her birthday) and joined the festivities of the evening. She brought along a fantastic birthday cake and her Nintendo Wii - which was a big hit in our little apartment when Jarrod's game got rained out!Needless to say, we had a full house - and we loved it! love the family silliness! :) "Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God... for God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
