Sixteen years ago Jonathan was born. He was over 9 lbs (no, I cannot remember what he weighed or measured without looking, but I do remember one of the books Cyndi loaned me that day-a Star Trek cook book!) and had a lot of tubes attached to him due to my blood sugars being too high the previous day. Steve and Tony came AFTER Jon was born and the Calvert family (Terry, Cyndi, and Ryan) visited, but it was a most excellent Friday. And yes, Jon is fairly loving and giving. (remember that rhyme: Friday's child is loving and giving) He often surprises me with something he has done or made. (ok, sometimes the things he has done are not the BEST surprises, but they almost always make me laugh!) When he was very small he would bring me English Daisies or dandelions wrapped in a leaf and tied with a bit of grass. Now he brings me flowers made of metal!
We had a party yesterday with Gma and Gpa because Jon has Scouts on Thursday. Naturally, we had pizza and cake and ice cream. I did offer salad, which Jon reluctantly ate. His cake had the traditional 16 candles and he said I spaced them out too far..he couldn't blow them all out at once!!!! (if you see the little 'candle holders' they are actually those tiny 100 cal cookies! Pretty cute, huh?) You would think a bari sax player could handle a few candles! He had an illuminating evening, anyway. He got several flashlights!
At school today one of his teachers played happy birthday on an app for him, he sat around and bled (his words-they also sang to him and gave him a birthday red cross pin), and he took cupcakes to Scouts tonight. Chocolate with home made chocolate frosting, of course. He ended the evening with an episode of Burn Notice. He is a great fan of Michael Weston's!
As for me, am diving into my McCaffrey books. Started with Restoree and am doing the Pegasus ones. Which if you think about it, kick off all the rest of the books because they learn to colonize space in this trio and most of the rest of the books are in space.
