A Special Birthday


On Wednesday morning, June 29th, Jemma came running down the hall and said, "Mom!  Do you know what today is?  Today is Fuzzy's birthday!" Well, who knew!!!  I asked her how she knew this and she replied, "Fuzzy told me!" Like DUH!!!  Fuzzy is THE beloved bear.  Flower was first, but was accidentally thrown out in a we- got- lice -at- my -BFFL's -house/ she went into a cleaning/burning/throwing away frenzy.  Jemma would be in the car or somewhere up to a year later and would start crying because she missed Flower!  Well, Fuzzy came to the rescue.  Fuzzy was a sweet bear given to us by Nana when Jemma was little.  She loved him, but  not like Flower.  When the BHW moved to Charleston (three months before us) Jemma gave him Fuzzy to take with him.  By the time we got to Charleston, Flower had been "done away with" and Fuzzy became the bear of choice.  He is a well traveled bear.  He has been to Germany, France and Ireland.  He goes anywhere we go overnight.  You know the kind of bear I am talking about.  So on his special day, we couldn't let it pass without a celebration!


Meet Fuzzy


He is well loved as you can see

Ready for the PARTY!

Somebody else is excited too!

No party is complete without a birthday cake and candles!


I  Fuzzy really enjoyed the cake!

I heart Publix




We love you, Fuzzy!  Happy Birthday!

Irish Stepper

I think I may already have an Irish stepper!!!  She was dancing out in my parents' field and I used the zoom lens to capture her.  I just love the pure joy and happiness that she exudes!  I am submitting this picture into the iheartfaces photo challenge of "From a Distance".  I thought this one was perfect!




T-minus 4 more days and I will be walking on the Emerald Isle!!!!
