And now, photos.
Here is my 7-year old son posing with my 99-year old grandmother, taken on the day we visited a few weeks ago..
Here is the beach ball birthday cake . . .(notice the fingerprints in the “sand”) . . . 
. . . and the blue-jello cups.
And finally, here is the Birthday Girl, who is now suffering from the headache-coughing virus my boys have so graciously passed along.
(And one more thing. The previous post was written using Microsoft Word with the new Blogger feature which allows you to compose with your word processor and then post directly to your blog. I like the Comic Sans font . . . what about you? Do you prefer this font?)

Mel,
I’m not looking at the comic font. It’s the same old font. š
Nice pictures. You have a great family, and are a great mom.

That jello looks good enough to swim in. Thanks for sharing the photos. Adorable. š
I must echo julana about the font. It looks the same on both posts. But maybe I just haven’t had enough coffee yet…

Comic Sans is my favorite font for Word documents, but it doesn’t come through on my browser. Darn. I’d love to do my own blog in Comic Sans. Guess I better haul out the html book.

I can’t believe that cake — very impressive. I love the “sand.”

Nice pics, Mel! That must have been quite a bit of work putting together those great party yummies…
I am now feeling guilty that I will be ordering a Bob the Builder cake and not making it myself.

Love Comic Sans, but… I’m just not seeing it? It all looks the same to me? (Perhaps it is time to get the bifocals tuned up!)

Great pictures. I absolutely LOVe those Jello Cups. Your daughter is SO PRETTY!
As for the Comic Sans, I am not a fan of the font. I am part of the “anti Comic Sans” coalition. JUST KIDDING.
