HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIK!!!!
Today is Erik's birthday. Last night we celebrated together at Erik and Sarah's home. Some of the family went to see The Secret World of Arrietty earlier in the afternoon. Then we had soup, salad, ice cream and cherry/raspberry cobbler (the cobbler became the birthday "cake" with one black and white candle, which Erik managed to blow out with one blow!) Then we heard a really fun report from Nate and Kia of their adventures in Central America. We missed having all of you here. Family get togethers become more and more important as we all go our ways in life.
We really hope Nate and Kia write all their adventures down before they forget them. Believe us, you do forget over time. Grandpa's experience going through the letters Grandma and Grandpa exchanged while he was in the navy made us realize how much we had forgotten.
We love you Erik. We love ALL of you,
Grandpa Garold and Grandma N.

  1. Happy happy birthday, Erik dear...

    I am thinking happy thoughts about you today, like:
    - what a wonderful job you did at Nate and Kia's wedding
    - what a talented and brilliant family you are raising (just look at the picture of Will on this page, as an example)
    - how you loved Elsa the Lion and are the instigator in getting our family to our most infamous travel destination, Longleat (I often think of Downton Abbey becoming a safari adventure park, eventually)

    WE LOVE AND ADMIRE YOU!
