My birthday

I got this cute sign from Justin's mom when she was here. I love it.
Sorry about the lack of other birthday pictures- we were busy busy.


My birthday was last Wednesday and was a fabulous day. Highlights included...
1)sleeping in (at least a little bit)
2) Justin bringing me lunch from my favorite sandwich place
3)My parents coming into town and taking me shopping
4) Phone calls/ texts/birthday cards/ from people I love
5)Just feeling special and loved all day long ( I've committed that I am going to do a better job at making others feel special on their birthdays, mostly because I felt overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of others).


My mom reading to Gracie.
Cinderella A.K.A. Gracie
My sister in law, Luci, sent this beautiful Cinderella dress for Gracie's birthday. Isn't it gorgeous? My mom added a few accessories and I'm pretty sure that Gracie would live in this princess dress if I would let her. For those of you who are far away, I'm sure I'll post more pictures later, but this is a sneak peek of what Gracie will look like on Halloween (I might just make her freeze because it looks too beautiful to cover up:).

Awwwww, crap! I totally spaced your birthday. I never know what day of the month or week it is lately! I'm sorry. I'm glad you had lots of nice thoughtful people that made it special for you, though. Love you and miss you!Gracie is too cute.

So glad you had visitors for your birthday! And Gracie's too. She is one darling Cinderella--love that little shrug.

I am glad to hear you both had great birthdays. Gracie is darling. Ashley had the same issue with gaining weight. The one thing that I found that she loved that has quite a bit of fat in it, is alfredo sauce. I cook her some pasta and she has lots of alfredo sauce. It has really helped, at her 15 month she was 19 pounds and at her 18 month she was 23 pounds. It worked great!

I didn't ever think birthdays were that big of a deal until Nate started making them a big deal. Now I think that everyone deserves to be treated like a King/Queen for the day. So glad you had a great day. I will give you a call to chat soon. and no I haven't been that great about letting her cry it out. I am a sissy!
