Bummer Birthday

I hate to label a birthday "bummer", but it kindof ended up that way. Today, Shakespeare turned 8 years old. There are no pictures of presents or cake or even a smiling face. He didn't feel well and only ate chicken noodle soup all day long. We're postponing a party for later this week. He did get a new bike yesterday before the yuck attacked, but it was so cold and windy that he couldn't go out and ride it. Thankfully, he was feeling much better this evening so we're hoping for a more pleasant day tomorrow.
