Happy birthday to me! Today was a pretty mellow day, ending with a yummy dinner of peanut sauce noodles with prawns and tofu, and cake — a box mix doctored by me with extra goodies (pudding, eggs and chocolate frosting) that turned out quite fantastically, I must admit.
Lonnie’s present to me was finally figuring out how to download and view our videos from our video recorder! Wahoo! We didn’t have it for Emma’s babyhood and have been really bad about using it often, but there are a few gems that I am so glad we have, and I hope to take a lot more from now on.
Last night he showed me this one, which immediately made me cry. Its Emma from about a year ago (so about a year and a half old), playing on the stairs at our old place. She still, to this day, throws a few members of her stuffed animal "posse" down the stairs every morning and after nap. The way I know she is up is the thud thud thud of an animal (or five) on the steps.







Happy Belated Birthday Wishes, Kristen. The video of Emma was so fascinating and adorable that it practically made me cry! What a treasure – thanks for sharing. It illuminates her fabulously determined, clever and curious personality so wonderfully. Enjoy your holidays! Love Kim Staking and family
yeah, perseverance, and she made ME laugh!! Way too cute for words.
Happy birthday, superb-Mom
Happy Birthday!
