I had always hoped that I'd have a baby before 25, and I JUST made it! Whew!
I had such a great day on my birthday. I wasn't expecting much at all because everyone around is busy and have a lot on their minds. But, this day turned out to be very special for me.
The day before my birthday I got a package from Meg, but decided to open it on my birthday, so, first thing in the morning, I opened up my first present! :P
Yay! Body Shop -Body wash from Meg! So cute and so thoughtful! (As you can see, I managed to put on some make up before I took this photo! haha!)

Then in the evening we had a little birthday party for me...but really, it was mainly for the kids! ha! Katie (4, of Aiki & Mary), weeks before, asked me if she could be "invited" to my birthday party, and I kind of put it off just telling her, that I'd be right here for my birthday, so of course we'll be together on my birthday. But then, two days before my birthday she asked again, "Can I go to your birthday party?" I told her that I'm not having a birthday party. Her reaction was so cute; she put on a very concerned face and asked, "But why? It's your birthday? You're not going to have a party??"
So, after talking with her a bit, and thinking a bit more later, I decided to ask Mary if she could make a cake, and I provide the snacks, then we could have a short "Birthday Party" for me for the kid's sake.
When I told the kids about this "Birthday Party" they were sooooo happy and looked forward to it all day. Everytime they saw me they got all excited and wished me happy birthday. So cute!
Blowing out the candles! One of the kids said, "What?! You're seven!!"
Kimby (2, of Aiki & Mary) How does cake get on your eyebrow??

There's the group of kids that made my birthday so special. Their smiles and emotions of joy spilled out over onto me. They're all so precious!
During the party, Josh brought in this huge wrapped up box which he said he took a while to wrap all by himself. (So sweet!) It turned out to be a printer!! Yay!! I remember telling him once or twice that everytime I wash a cloth diaper out , I'm "SAVING UP" for my very own printer! Haha!! Now I have it!! God ALWAYS supplies! It's a scanner too! Yay!
Thank you Joshy! I'm sooo happy with it!
