Celebrating Jeri's Birthday Across the Miles


Jim and I are feeling so blessed to have a daughter like Jeri and today we celebrated her birthday! Well, the celebration was basically Jim and me singing a family version of a Red Robin restaurant "Happy Birthday!" Usually, to be done properly, everyone should be in a long line and the leader guides the gang through the house, weaving in and out of rooms, while everyone sings and claps:

Happy birthday, have a happy birthday
Happy birthday, have a happy day
Is there a birthday here?
Yes, there is a birthday here!
Happy
Birthday
Ha ha ha ppy!
etc.
(The photo is the only sample I have of another time and place where we sang the song!!!)

So, we sang and Jeri and her dog, Machi, marched and I'm sure the puppy will never be the same again!

We love you, Jerz! We hope you can hear our cheers and feel our bear hugs all the way to Thailand from here!

Awwww! Thanks so much! I know Macchi enjoyed the experience, too -- you could see it in his bulging eyes! You're awesome parents! Love you!
