Forty

Remember when you used to have to wait a few weeks or maybe months to use up the roll of film in your camera before you could get the pictures developed? Then you would get that envelope from the camera shop or one-hour photo and hold your breath hoping that at least some of the prints had turned out? Most of them were blurry.

These pictures kind of remind me of that, especially the waiting-for-a-month-to-look-at-them-and-then-they're-blurry part. I dug them out of the "pile" because I realized I'd never posted pictures of my official birthday party (from May!). Unfortunately, we were so busy that we didn't think to take pictures until it was almost too late, so the ones we did get aren't really all that good.

Oh well. Andrea worked hard to get the back yard looking festive.

And we had our first bonfire on the new pad.

Hold it. What is this "film" you speak of? And developing? Prints? You had to wait how long? How old are you anyway? This old.
