August is a busy month around our house...not only is it "back to school" it's also a big birthday month for both of my girls! Our first celebration was on the 14th with my big girl choosing her favorite meal of oven fried chicken and all the "fixins" to go along with it. This girl loves her food and the rest of us had to wait for her to finish before we could enjoy the cake!
When I look at her it's so hard to believe how grown-up she is!
Wasn't it just yesterday that I sang to her each night, ate cereal in the kitchen for "bednight" snacks and put bows in her hair...I am so proud of the young woman that she has become, one filled with beauty and grace inside and out! We hardly recovered from her celebration and it was time for another one...
Today our sweet Clara Beth turned four! We celebrated Saturday night with family and friends. Here's a peek at her cake. The empty plate is where we stacked the ice cream cups.
We had food choices for the little ones and the big ones to enjoy. Paul smoked a delicious pork loin, there were ham and turkey wraps, fruit kabobs, veggies and dip, chips and pasta salad.
It didn't take long for this to disappear!
Here's the birthday girl sharing hugs with daddy.
We had to picnic on the porch because the weather did not cooperate and we had quite a down pour. It didn't stop their fun though!
Cake and ice cream was enjoyed by all. Emanuiel had already finished his can't you tell!
Then Clara Beth took the best seat in the house to open her presents!
Anna Kayla and Greg watched as the little ones ran and played all through the house! It was a delightful evening in spite of the weather. The little ones didn't get to swim but that just gives us another reason to have another party...Labor Day perhaps!

I am so far behind it seems I may never catch up.
Until next time...
Watching my children grow is one of my greatest joys. It all passes so quickly. As much as I love them I know that God loves them even more. I take comfort in this...
I have upheld [you] since you were conceived, and have carried [you] since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs. I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and rescue you.
Isaiah 46:3-4
