Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

44th Birthday Celebration

What an amazing day!  I started my birthday with Muffins for Mom at school.  We took a quick selfie, then headed to her classroom where she got to show off her classwork.







I snapped a picture of my favorite!




Next, I received lots of sweet wishes from coworkers, family, and friends.  At first I was trying to down play another year that I'm older, but then I realized how precious life is and that every year is reason enough to celebrate!  


My son decided to give me the gift of his time.  So without hesitation, I made a reservation at a nice French restaurant downtown.  We ordered the Crepes de mer, and it was delicious!  I really enjoyed the dinner, and was grateful for those few precious moments of conversation.  (Notice he even put his arm around me.)







 Afterwards, we all gathered back at home for cake.  We didn't bother getting a 2nd candle with the #4, so we just used the #2 again.  It was a My Little Pony cake, and the little one offered to clean the toys if she could keep them.
