It's true!!! In fact, Rob can hardly believe it himself. The other day he asked me if he looked 40!! My reply? "I dunno ... what does '40' look like?" I think he's tried to put it off, but that is like trying to stop the sun from rising or the tide from coming in and going out again. Well ... the inevitable has happened and there's absolutely no turning back. We celebrated this momentous occassion with family and friends and after everyone left and the cleaning up was complete, Rob sat down to contemplate the meaning of generous friends and look over the lovely gifts he had received. I believe he felt really loved! My beautiful sister made the birthday cake ... and it looked AWESOME!!!! Unfortunately, I forgot to put the film (that I had asked my sister to bring) in my camera and take photos and it wasn't until after the event that I realised the error of my ways!!! Thank goodness Kirsty was there with her digital camera, or I wouldn't have gotten any photos at all!!! Back to the cake, it was a mud cake in the shape of the number '40', iced with chocolate icing with white icing outlining the numbers and decoratively drizzled on the top. Magnificent. My mum brought the dinner (I really didn't do very much at all) and then she and my sisters cleaned up. I felt terribly guilty - but, at the same time, I felt soooo loved (and it wasn't even my birthday!!!). Thank you to everyone who made Rob's birthday so special!!! I think, nearly two weeks later, that he still feels really special.
