Sister #1 called me out yesterday. I guess she felt that she had to remind me about today's birthday. I can't for the life of me imagine why that would be. The thing is, though, that August birthdays are easy. Not that I remember the specific days, mind you, but I remember early in the month that I have to look them up again and put them in my calendar. And then I have to look up how old everyone is. And that why I can extend heartfelt birthday wishes to Midge today on her fourth, fifth, or sixth birthday. Okay, okay - I'm kidding! I know you're five today, Midge! Have a wonderful birthday!
How adorable Midge is and I love her name. Five is a terrific age. She looks like she is getting pretty grown up there!
I try to write the bdays on my calendar once a year, when I get the next years calendar. I have a hard time even remembering all of my kids bdays, which I know sounds terrible, but with so many children, and several with similar months, and such, I have to stop and think when asked. It can be a bit embarrassing :)

Thanks, Freedom. That's her first day of school. You can't tell from this photo, but her backpack is almost as big as she is.

What I cannot believe is how much my kids backpacks weigh! I cannot even lift them. That seems unhealthy. They don't seem to even notice!!
Your niece is precious!!!
