Just before our departure to Pangkor island on Monday (mom's real birthday -- the 23rd of June) we celebrated the big SIX - ZERO on Sunday evening, complete with birthday cake and a few gifts. Tracy, with help from the kids, had baked a cake -- and we enjoyed having mom, dad, and Tasha up for dinner. A few gifts were given, and we sang "Happy Birthday." Rania was THRILLED to have a "shew-shew" (sound as though you are blowing out a birthday cake, and you get what Rania called cake). We then tried to get mom to reminisce a bit about her childhood.
While she didn't have very many details about her birth (I'm sure that grandpa Levi can fill us in, right!?!), she told great detail about her disappointment when her brother Don was born -- and he wasn't a girl. Fortunately a day of pouting turned into having her very own doll -- complete with hourly baths and changes of clothes. When we get together next month, I'm sure we'll hear more of Don's side of the story.
It was a joy to celebrate the birthday with my mom -- something that hasn't happened too often the past few years.

A belated happy birthday to Nancy!
I've eagerly waited, and waited ;), for updates on your blog...
Hope you're all well and that your blog is soon to be updated!
me too. a whole month without updating your blog? what's going on???
It's discouraging to realize that the Woodwards have experienced no family adventures at all since the 22nd of June!
Since the sub-title of this blog speaks of the "wanderings" of the Woodwards, I guess one must conclude that no wanderings have taken place in recent weeks.
