Happy Birthday!

February is a big birthday month in my family. It started with my sister Rori, then it was Great Grandpa Taylor who turned "99" years old. Hello! Until somewhat recently, this guy could move around with the best of 'em. He still does a lot of his own stuff and even bakes us cupcakes for Valentines. He never forgets our birthdays. He always sends us a card with $5. It's the sweetest thing! Then Grandma Pearson turned "95". Hello again! She still moves around pretty darn good too. A couple years ago I asked her if life was still enjoyable. She said, "It's enjoyable, but it's not hilarious!" How funny is she? She said she loves watching her family grow and spending time with them. I wonder if I will live into my 90's? Then it was my 31st birthday and my Mom's the day after mine. Whew, lots of birthdays! We had a fun and busy month celebrating. This year I chose a simple lunch with just my sisters, Mom, and Grandma (and Dad and Grandpa). I thought it would be more enjoyable to leave the kids home. Is that mean? Oh, well! Jeff also took me out for a fun evening. Now, I'm just looking forward to Spring!
