Today is Stephen's 40th birthday. The kids and I made a poster for him with a big photo of him (I printed it using the poster-printing option and made it 3 sheets of paper X 3 sheets of paper). It also says "Lordy Lordy Look Who's 40" then with 4 birthday greeting from each of us on it. I am baking a cake for him at the moment. Not sure what we are doing for dinner. We were going to go out but now he is leaning towards pizza (no doubt a pizza with chicken which I hate because chicken does not belong on pizza!).

Today is also my dad's birthday. If he were still alive he would be 75 today. This year it will be 7 years since he passed away. I cannot believe it has been that many years. It doesn't seem that long ago.
