Today is Erin's birthday. I remember that right before she was born, the Pirates won the World Series. She was delivered by a doctor who had one eye on the television. Fortunately, everything worked out well.

Welcome to the world, baby girl. Erin, October 18, 1979.
I even remember that washcloth!! |
I made a ginger pear upside down cake for Erin, and took it, with her presents, over to their house late this afternoon. This recipe is from the famous Macrina Bakery in Seattle. The pears were from my box of fruits and veggies that came last week. Yum.

Charlie really liked that cake. I think he thanked me about 12 times while eating it. Also, so cute, he cleaned up the plates and stacked them when we were done. Without being asked. He takes after his dad that way. And his grandpa. Thanks for the good examples, guys!

I knitted Erin a cloche, which I think looks adorable on her.
Happy Birthday, Erin! You are so special.
Love you!

(Hey, I notice that in the top picture Ed has a cloche on, too.) |
yes, dad... you've always been so hip like that. (:
ReplyDeleteThank you for making my birthday so amazing and so full!
Full of love and family and fun... and cake!
love you, mom, dad, and can't forget, sophie. who we let eat cake too... or at least the crumbs when charlie let her out to help clean up (: he always reminds me when he's spilt something that sophie isn't here, so i'd better get out the vacuum.
funny sweet child. hasn't discovered the whole, just move a chair over it and forget about it maneuver (:
xoxo
I LOVE the cloche (sp?) it fits her personality perfectly. Wish I could have been there :)
