37

Sisters

I've never made a paper mache pinata before.  Wish me luck.

I turned 37 on Monday.  It's beginning to sound middle aged... but I feel 25.  Here are some beautiful roses that Ben got for me on my birthday.

My neighbor Emily made a bowl for me in her ceramics class.

Someone in my small group just visited Florida and she brought me some beautiful lemons and oranges from her in-laws' back yard.  :)

My friend Janna gave me a candle that smells like a Hawaiian vacation.  I'm afraid this is as close as I'm going to get to that for a while.

She also gave to me a sweeper to vacuum up bits under the table after dinner.  Brilliant!

This is the biggest gift I've been given this year.  My Romy.  I can never decide which picture I like best of hers so I'm including them all.  She has a new trick of pushing herself backwards in this chair.  She is such a happy and beautiful baby it blows my mind.

My mom got for me a frame and some letters to do a sign for Romy's name.  I've been trying to find the letters and she found them in Hobby Lobby.  I have both Zeke and Gwen's names already and wanted hers too.  It looks great!
