Where I come from, birthdays are a big deal. You celebrate all day--and often long before and long after. Marc does not subscribe to this philosophy. He wanted to spend his day soberly reflecting on the past year. Yikes! Soberly reflecting inside my own little head is a recipe for disaster for me, but it works for Marc. I respected his wishes, though it pains me to ignore a birthday all day long. I shouldn't complain, though, because during all of his reflecting, he cleaned out the shed, the backporch, and the car!
It wasn't all somber, though:
- Marc and I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie while Grandma Donna stayed with J & A.
- On Sunday, Marc's parents' had us over for lunch. We had Joseph's cake and Marc let us sing "Happy Birthday" and blew out the candles (he probably didn't make a wish, though!)
