happy birthday, miriam

we celebrated miriam's birthday a day early with family and a few friends after her final soccer game today. tomorrow we plan to have a mostly quiet (a figure of speech) day at home. enjoy the "Best of Miriam 2007-08" slideshow. (to view it larger, click on the bottom right-hand corner, then "miriam slideshow", and then select the "slideshow" button on the page it takes you to.)

and, i just had to show off her birthday cake. :) i remembered just in time that my mom had this dog-shaped pan from when we were little. matt gets all the credit for flipping it out of the pan in one piece!
