We had a fun filled birthday celebration yesterday. Phil's brother and family came and we all ate at Cracker Barrel, along with our son and his family. After dinner, we all went to their motel to swim in the big heated pool. Anne Marie is not the only little Chinese girl in our family, we have several, and her little cousins are just adorable!!! They have not learned to swim yet and were taking some pointers from Anne. Why are Phil and I not in the pictures? We did not get in the pool, we sat on the deck watching and laughing while I snapped the pictures. Next to last picture you see poor little Gabriella crying. She had taken quite a fall on the hard deck (she had been running after told not to, of course). But thankfully she was fine. And of course what would a birthday be without a card from Anne Marie? Wish I would have snapped the other side, she drew Phil wearing pink shorts!
“People of all nations, celebrate God! All colors and races, give hearty praise! And
Isaiah's word: There's the root of our ancestor Jesse, breaking through the
earth and growing tree tall, Tall enough for everyone everywhere to see and
take hope! Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with
peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the
Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!”
Romans 15

Glad she was okay...if you are like me, it hurts so bad to see them fall.
Looks like a good time was had by all.
Wonderful photos, just beautiful.
Love all the joyous smiles.
Looks like you ha a lot of fun.
Happy times indeed! And the scripture was so apt. The joy in your post made me think of one of my favorite songs from childhood, "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight."
I smiled throught this entire post.. oh, I just love seeing the little ones having fun. What a wonderful way for Phil to spend his birthday! Those girls (all three of them) are just TOO CUTE!! You and Phil have a great weekend Ginny!
Awww what a fun time! The girls are just beautiful!...though I think I would have liked to have seen Phil in pink...even if it was just a drawing! ;0)

I would dearly love to see the picture of Phil in pink shorts. It looks as if everyone had a great time, even Gabriella.
Sounds like a lot of fun! Cracker Barrel is always yummy! Glad he had a fun birthday!
How fun to have family together and a chance to celebrate.
Love the shots and the drama.
Swimming is always fun, even for adults like me.
