I have to post these pictures. My sweet husband and children put on the sweetest little 'party' for me this morning. When I got home from my walk, I was welcomed at the door by them wishing me a Happy Birthday and the smell of waffles and bacon filled our house. This is what I found at my place at the table. Bill baked cupcakes in ice cream cones & decorated them after I went to bed last night. He even cleaned up every lick of evidence because when I woke up with Caitlyn in the middle of the night there was nothing to make me suspicious. I'm so lucky to have him! He is so sweet & thoughtful!
Tonight he babysat the girls while I attended enrichment. It was fabulous and inspiring! The speaker is a school psychologist who also owns a children's bookstore. She strongly believes in using books to teach & enrich our children. A sad fact: In the 1960's when students graduated from high school they had a vocabulary of 25,000 words. The average high school graduate now has a vocabulary of 10,000 words. What a tragedy! She recommend some great books for moms & children. If you'd like to know any of them, I'd be happy to share.
The best news of my birthday is that my sister had her baby tonight! I got the text that Caden Lane Scherbel was born at 10:35 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well.
