Happy Birthday Mom!

We went to Judge Bean's for dinner, got to watch Michigan win, and came over to our house for presents & cake! 

Granddad's face offers hours of fun...

Morgan made a strawberry country cake from scratch, thanks to Ina Garten.  Drizzled with chocolate for our chocolate lover, Benjamin...  Thank goodness there's one chef in the family.

Evy and I "at work:" me on adoption paperwork and Evy on a book about Ginger.

Benjamin REFUSED to smile on his first day of school, except for this ONE select picture.  I tried at home, in the hall at school, and finally got him here at his new desk.  Evy, on the other hand, couldn't contain her excitement.  She rand down the hall to her 4 year old class at preschool!  By the way, I too, started back to school today.  Let's just say I was NOT smiling!
