Pierce is turning 8!
It's his lucky date!
Come celebrate!
Don't be late!
(That was the poem on the Evite for Pierce's party
which will take place on Saturday evening)
Yep, today is Pierce's 8th Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIERCE!!!
(I'm having a problem posting a photo of Pierce but if you have been reading my site for the last couple of years, you all know what he looks like)!
Pierce LOVES the number 8. I have no idea why but it has been his favorite number for quite a few years. In fact, for one of his birthdays I bought him a #8 balloon and we were at a park celebrating his birthday when one of his relatives that was attending the party saw the #8 balloon from afar and figured that it was another birthday party for an 8 year old. I asked Pierce if he wanted the #8 balloon or the number that corresponded to his age for that year. I just can't remember when it was!
It is also my brother David's 49th birthday today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!
My oldest brother Richard is also 49 years old for one more month, so I have two brothers the same age but they are not twins. WHAT were my parents thinking?!
Last year my sis-in-law Jennifer told me that she had something to give to me from Pierce. She found it in his schoolwork. Here it is:
I have the artwork displayed on my desk at work. I love stuff like that!
OK, time to get busy. You all have a wonderful day. I sure hope I do as I have a dental appointment later today.
Be sure to hug your families, furry and human!
There is a fountain of youth:
it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring to your life
and the lives of the people you love.
When you learn to tap this source,
you will have truly defeated age.

Happy Birthday Pierce and David!!!!!
I was like that at an early age too- 23 was my favorite number! Not sure why but later in school it was my basketball number and my softball number - I got married on the 23rd- so there is something about lucky numbers! This will be a good year for Pierce!
Yay! Happy Birthday Pierce & David! My favorite number is 24. LOVE the artwork! Have wonderful celebrations! LOVE TO YOU!
Today is dau's birthday too. She is a long way from 8! lol
Give that handsome boy a big ol birthday hug from me will you??!!? Tell him I said he is a true artist in the making. Awesome!!

I hope they had wonderful birthdays! The art work is just precious! Those kiddos love you so much! Have a great weekend!
Happy Birthdays all around!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving the poem.. Yup, it is beautiful.
So many of us must go through the loss of our parents..certainly is a difficult life-task.
