I am officially 48.
It's not so bad to swallow that fact when I have had
wonderful family and friends to make turning older
not such a grim ordeal-in fact it might be fun to have
birthday's more often if the reality was that you
didn't turn any older on them. ;-)
What a fantastic surprise when I opened Kris's
birthday gift to me. It was a photo of two labs,
black and yellow, that looked so much like our
doggies Sequoia and Yana. They are in the canoe
with paddles in their jaws trying to chase down
the tennis ball just in front of them.
Love it!!!
Later in the day we celebrated mine and my mom's birthday's
at lunch. It was great food and great conversation!
Coreen, Kendra-my sister, my Mom-the other birthday girl!
Ready to dig in for some yummy dessert!
Before heading to dinner we watched Cody at dive practice.
Cody's spinning so fast you can barely make him out.
It was a delicious birthday dinner at one of my
favorite Mexican Restaurants downtown.
At home we celebrated having a Gigi's cupcake
for our birthday treat!
Jim was so sweet sending me these beautiful flowers
and some awesome perfume.
As I reflected on my "birthday week" I felt so much
gratitude for the wonderful family and friends that I
have in my life to cherish and have so much joy with.
What wonderful blessings they all are to me!
