For Garreth's birthday last night, we made our traditional trip to a Japanese steakhouse, this time to Kyoto in Bellingham. The kids love watching the chef cook right at our table - setting onions on fire, flipping knives and spatulas, throwing eggs and stuff. It's definite entertainment. And the food was excellent... Liam even tried his first sushi!

Happy Birthday Garreth!! We tried to find you a Carmen Electra e-card, but couldn't find one that we thought Erin would approve of!! :) But we were thinking of you on your big 34.
Happy bday to G-Ratch. It sounds like it was a good one. It was so fun to see you guys at Christmas. Hopefully the adoption will be soon and you'll come this way again in the next little bit. How was the journey home by the way?!
Happy birthday Garreth! I love that Grace said sportsmanship! Hope you had a good one and let me know how you guys are doing. Love you guys!
So cute to have the kids give their feelings too.
Yep, very smiley eyes and is liked wherever he goes.
Happy Birthday!
