Cool cookie

Today Emily, Mom, Ben and I went to Panda Express to get lunch before we went shopping. I got the neatest fortune cookie. This is what it said. I am going to say if for Hannah's baby book. The only thing it didn't come with is travel dates.

Ben's Birthday Party

We all got together for Ben's birthday. We had a great time. This is the first year that I can remember that Ben actually acknowledged his birthday. He woke up singing Happy Birthday to himself. He would get the biggest smile on his face when you would tell him Happy Birthday!

Jeff's Birthday




Jeff and Teresa came out for dinner so we decided to have a cake for Jeff's 40th birthday! Emily decorated it Tweety Bird.

16 months

We are 16 months LID today!

MBNA CONVENTION

David is off to his annual convention tonight. He will be in Baltimore tomorrow. I don't get to go with him this year.(bummer) Maybe next year. He will come home with LOTS of new ideas for the business. He is also going to get to see his brother and sister while he is there. Marcy is going to fly in on Friday. David is very excited about that. He and is siblings have not been together in 5 years. The kiddos and I are going to take it easy while he is gone I hope. I have been really busy with work. Jacob started back to school yesterday. So life around here is crazy.

Poem

The Chosen One - Author Unknown

I had a dream the other night
It came to me so clear
I stood before the throne of God
Afraid to come too near

God said to me "I hear your prayers"
There's answers you can't find
I asked you here to talk to me
And help to ease your mind

I said, "Well yes God, I am upset"
About my special one
This punishment is awfully harsh
What ever have I done?

God looked at me and shook his head
and said you've got it wrong
I sent this special child to you
because you are so strong

I searched and searched to find someone
With love so rare
A parent so unselfish
That could give that special care

I try and save my special gifts
Like those you're speaking of
For special kind of parents
I call the "Chosen Ones"

Of all the ones to choose from
think this I have done
A parent who deserves the best
An honor you have won
