Today is a Special Day

Today is a special day in our family.

• It is my dad's birthday! Happy birthday, Dad! I wish we could be there to help you celebrate. Isn't it nice that I'm not mentioning your age?
  
• It is my in-law's anniversary. 31 years. Yeah!
• It is also my mother-in-law's parents' anniversary. Grandpa is rejoicing with Jesus but we can still celebrate the wonderful effects that their marriage is continuing to have on this earth.
• It is also our beautiful, ornery dog's birthday. He is four years old today. I reminded Andrew of all this last night and he said "You didn't buy him anything. Did you?" Actually, I didn't. Poor dog. I'll give him some real meat for supper and his other gift was getting to stay in the house all day. It's too cold to leave him outside.
