Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!

3.10.10




How amazing that we received pictures of our dear one celebrating her birthday on her actual birthday! Early this morning, we got these pictures which were taken overnight while we slept. What a precious keepsake to have. And, check out that cake? One friend remarked today that the cake probably weighs more than she does. I bet that’s true. And, just so you know, no, our 1 year old baby girl didn’t so accurately put icing on her own face. I doubt she’d even be able to reach her own face with all those layers on. Apparently, it’s a Chinese tradition for the adults to put icing on the children’s faces on their birthdays. We are so thankful that she is in a place where her birthday, her life, is celebrated. Now, we just have to get this girl to smile!

Here’s how we are celebrating tonight–not nearly as fancy as the cake Lydia had. But, I think our kids will be a bit happier about it than Lydia was about hers!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
