Sunday was dinner with just our little family of 4 at C's favorite Greek restaurant. Baby Love fell asleep on the ride there, leaving us 3 with a peaceful and enjoyable dinner ! We're not complaining :) We did have a few interruptions from Bee, who wants C to help decorate her Fluttershy's (My Little Pony) long hair during our meal but it was fine. His patience and attentiveness with the girls are admirable. I have very little patience for kiddies stuff like that, feed the dolls, comb their hair, decorate them, pretend they talk to each other, etc. I'm better at craft, physical activities/games with the girls. At least between us two we got the kids covered :D
After dinner we sat in our backyard and enjoy the last glow of the sun. We really like being in our back yard. Our garden is very fruitful this year, plenty of tomatoes, herbs, and cucumbers. The carrots and beets are growing bigger by the day. The highlight for me must be the figs ! The tree yield about 30 this year with about 50 that didn't get ripened. Next summer is going to be a promising one !!!

Monday came, C's actual birth date. My mom suggested a dinner for him and my side of family. She bought some huge prawns and let me do what I wish with them. I lightly seasoned them with seasoning salt then brushed them with olive oil, garlic and rosemary then throw them on the bbq. They were heavenly delicious. Baby love devoured 3 skewers on top of other fixings ! A record !
This weekend, we discovered C has a slight lactose intolerance. It just happened. In past couple of months, he noticed that after eating anything dairy they don't sit well in his tummy. Poor thing because he loves cheese.
So for C's special day, I wanted to get him a cake, a dairy free cake. I hope it's just the dairy and nothing else...we might have to go vegan !!! Oh man. I so don't want to. Any who, since I work near Whole Food I thought I ask them if they have any dairy free cake and lo and behold, they have 1 chocolate one available. I quickly napped it up and carried it home.
After dinner we sang the happy song to C ! Our girls and I were very excited to eat cake. I want to know what dairy free chocolate cake tastes like. They helped him blow out the candles and we proceed to cake cutting and eating. It was chocolatey yummy tasty ! Very rich creamy chocolate taste and it doesn't taste like it lacks anything at all, like milk or butter. I wonder what they substituted them with because the icing was heavenly. Bee ate all her icing and asked to have mine !
I made a card for C and Bee made him a card and a box of gifts (little paper stuff she cut up and folded). I wanted to get him shoes but all my searches have left me empty handed. There's none I found that I think he would like (he's a picky one, that man). I will have to delay my gift.
Another day, another cake, another year older. We celebrate and cherish C. My prayer for him this year is for the Lord to guide him and bless the work of his hands. Amen.
