Even though Seamus’ half birthday wasn’t officially until June 6th we decided to celebrate a day early while Turah was still visiting us. She and I went out for a last luncheon at a charming outdoor café called El Pasador. We both ordered Tuna Teriyaki. It was another lovely day to eat outside.
We decorated the house with signs celebrating Seamus’ half birthday. For dinner Dad made lomein noodles for Seamus and he had raw coffee beans and Austrian like Twinkies for his half birthday treat. Keeping in the half birthday absurdity, his siblings creatively presented him with unique gifts. Liam gave Seamus an empty granola wrapper. Faywen made an aluminum foil “likeness” of Seamus, but Turah’s gift made us all laugh till our sides hurt! As a joke she had found him a cheap toddler’s play ice cream set, because he was always asking for ice cream on our trip! He did get one serious gift from me, a Hermann Teddy plush brown bear. He’s my Pookey Bear! Hermann Teddy is a well-known German plush toy maker. I had already given the other kids their special “animals” so it was Seamus’ turn.
We also sang half of the “Happy Birthday Song”!
Thanks Liam!

Despite the light evening rain Turah and Liam walked up the hill behind our house so she could see the lovely view of Graz and valley from our mountainside. Today was truly a wonderful family day!
