This week marks the annual Birthday Bash at the Deveau household.
March 7, Josiah turning 16, Cara, I won't tell but only say it is her birthday. They are spending their day at Disneyland. Cara invited Rachel his oldest sister so he would have a companion to ride on the rides with him.
March 8, Alyse turns 19, she isn't at the age yet where I am not allowed to tell her age.
March 11, Martin, my birthday, I am on the downhill side of 50 now, 51! Wow! My birthday is Wednesday this year. I don't know what I will be doing this year. I have Roundtable on my birthday and since I am the camporee chairman, I should be there. What a better way to spend my birthday then at a Scout function! :) I don't think I will be going to Disney for my birthday unless I want to spend the day alone. :( Our family should check into getting annual Disney passes for Christmas presents this year. Hmmm.... Family of 11 minus the older kids who could pay for their own pass, means purchasing annual passes for 8 which.... Hmmm.....

Memorial Service
These past 2 days I have had the opportunity of attending 3 Scouting events. I had the opportunity of attending an Eagle Court of Honor. It was an awesome Court of Honor. The Color Guard was presented by the Marine Corps. I couldn't stay though until the end because it was off to another scouting event.
I attended a memorial service for the father of a good friend. His father was a WW2 veteran. My son was involved with the Color Guard presentation for the memorial service. He was the caller. He did a very fine job.
Today, we went to the graveside service for the same individual. I haven't been to a graveside service since my dad was buried 9 years ago at Arlington in the rain. Josiah was the caller was again and helped 2 younger scouts fold the American flag. It was very touching to see Josiah present the oldest daughter of the veteran with the American flag. It was a job well done. I can say I was very proud of my son as he handed her the flag. The weather was very cold and overcast.
