One thing we definitely miss bring here in Georgia is birthdays...I've always been really close to my family, not only brothers, but cousins and aunts and uncles! Back in North Carolina was a large part of my Dad's family, we'd get together on holidays and especially birthdays, resulting in 20+ people! This time of year is especially difficult for me starting in May: my Dad's birthday & Sis-in-law Diana's birthday; June: Mom's Birthday, my Brother Matt's Birthday, July: my other Brother Josh's Birthday and then my niece Ashtyn's Birthday in early August, not to mentions both Mother's Day and Father's Day! We call and sing to them on their Birthdays, but it's not the same being able to be there, go out to eat, eat cake & ice cream and just hang out :( I try my very best to wish them Happy Birthday on the blog...know we miss you guys and so wish we could be there for every single Birthday!!!
If you live near family and have the opportunity to celebrate with them, don't hesitate! For those of us not close to family we cherish the moments we are able to be with them and celebrate the milestones:)

We miss having birthdays with you too! I think we should have a birthday celebration with all of you when we come to visit!!!
Yes, it is hard to be away from family especially on birthdays/holidays. You really do learn how to make the most of every moment when you live away! Mason's second birthday is Friday, and I would love to have the whole family here.
