Happy Birthday Jonah!
The kindergartners have a birthday tradition of reciting, “The End” to the celebrant turning 6 – so touching, it brings tears to your eyes!
When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five, I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I’m as clever as clever,
So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.~A.A. Milne
We brought chocolate and M&M covered donuts and milk to school today; the children were happy and Jonah was made to feel so special by his teacher and classmates.

Jonah’s kindergartner teacher said a beautiful prayer for Jonah.
Nicholas and Maria~Angelica got to celebrate too!
For the third year in a row (as Nicholas pointed out) Jonah wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday….my back was feeling great until a night at Chuck E. Cheese….
Did you notice Jonah’s “money cake” ? Jonah is crazy for money and my mom designed a money photo and surprised us with this creative cake. Thanks Mom! Thank you too to Thea Voula and Thea Connie for the Birthday money; Jonah loved all his surprises in the mailbox today!
I was pleasantly surprised at how much Maria~Angelica enjoyed this, I really though she would be frightened. But she was even dancing to the little tune!
Maria~Angelica was getting sleepy, she had been on the road all day. I just love how she has her little hands in this picture.

Your pictures were great and I’m glad that everyone had a good time at Chuck E. Cheese………well, except your back. I hope that you feel better soon.
Did you hear about the attack on the American Embassy in Athens? How awful. They just need to leave Greece alone.
