birthdays

Today would be Lev's sixteenth birthday. I was really looking forward to teaching him to drive. I have nice memories of letting Jaal drive me to school every morning, and was hoping to do so with Lev.

Lev had lots of great birthdays over the years. Since he was a summer birthday it was often hard to get together with his friends. On his fourteenth he got together with a few friends- David, Kalyn, Grady, Brandon and they ate home made pizza and a cookie cake and went to a game place.

I remember on his eighth birthday we were living in Sybil's house in Monteverde. It was one of the few homes with a bathtub. Lev had Trevor and Eduardo over and they played in the bathtub for hours.

We were often visiting family and celebrated his birthday with Zeb's birthday.
Last year, we were going to be home, in between our camping trip to Canada and his trip to visit Zay.

Birthday foods- crepes for breakfast, home made pizza, pie or ice cream and a cookie cake.
