A New Member of Our Extended Family











Today we celebrated Grandma's birthday one day early by taking her to brunch at the Original Pancake House. It was so good!









View my wonderful Reese's Peanut Butter crepe. I get the crepe every time, and am never disappointed. Ah, it is chocolately. View, as well, Russ's blueberry pancakes. Don't forget the bowl of freshly-whipped cream atop Ruby's silver dollar pancakes. The piece-de-resistance, however, is Russ's gargantuan sausage and cheddar omelet, the full size of which can only be appreciated when viewed in comparison to his fist.



After a, to say the least, very filling meal, we gave Grandma her present, a new turtle! He is an African Sideneck, a water turtle like Mulan. She seemed really surprised and happy. Ruby also knitted a dishcloth for Grandma with super-soft pale blue yarn. The three big girls went with Grandma to her house to set up the turtle's new habitat.
