Well, a day after the big 32. My b-day was nice. I am constantly reminded of the gifts we get everyday, not just the one's that come around as a celebration of a special occassion. An old friend that now lives in Indiana was in town for a few days so she came yesterday and visited with the girls and I for about 5 hrs. What fun! Bill took me out to dinner, but 2 potential babysitters fell through, so the girls went with us. They were complete angels in the restaurant and it was great to have them with me. The absolute BEST PART of my day was after I got the girls up in the morning and dressed Bill put them in our room and told me to wait a few mintues before I came in. When I walked it, both of the girls were holding a card for me.....complete with drool and slobber because they had been chewing on them. HOW PERFECT.
So, as I am 32 plus 1 day, I blog this......we may be a year older, a few lbs off where we want to be, a few $$$ in debt, a couple hours behind schedule, but at least we have each other and a lot of people that love us and give us priceless gifts every day!

Ah...with age comes wisdom! You've got it, girl! The best gifts are those intangible things that make us appreciate our lives!! There's a poem I read with my friend, Lisa, in a card shop that talked about "Wet Oatmeal Kisses"--we were both in tears and thought it was the perfect tribute to motherhood! No one has received the PERFECT card or gift unless it has drool attached! :-)
They are so beautiful, Em - and Happy Birthday again. Thanks for your post - you're so right! Matt came to my choir concert last night - and because of his work and academy schedules - it was the first one in 3 years. I was so excited to have him there - it's truly those things that make it! Like a drool-covered card!
