Nick turns 16 today! It seems hard to believe. And what a young man he is becoming; honour roll student, captain of his rugby team, musician (trumpet, piano and guitar), serious golfer, charming, funny and sweet. He had 7 buddies over for an overnight birthday bash (8 16 year old young men are kind of like gangly puppy dogs - Ed and I haven't laughed this much for a long time); pizza and bowling on Friday night - minimal sleep; games and fun, feeding (pancakes, eggs, bacon), silly string, balloon fights, a big chat lying in the meadow, Taboo and Scattergories, spiderman masks and party festivities, more feeding (chili, garlic bread) and a big birthday cake.
He wore the 'birthday hat' with lots of panache all weekend (and today to school on the 'real' birthday day). I am in ordinately proud of our wonderful guy. In honour of his 16th year I am going to embark on a 365 project for him - I have the scrapbook prepped (I do hope to share parts of it when I get it going) - I am sure 365 days of being 16 will bring lots of changes and great things. Happy Birthday Nick!!!!!

On a separate note I have been getting in squares (I have them photographed and ready to post). I have been dealing with a nasty bacterial infection in my sinuses and ears so I haven't gotten back to the square sendees (I will do it this week) and really wanted to focus my energies on the birthday festivities (and getting well of course). More this week.
