Birthdays..

It's birthday season.. Well, if you think about it, the whole year could actually be considered "Birthday Season" since there's always SOMEONE out there having a birthday, but Spring is our time of year for birthdays.

(Chris had his birthday on March 26, which just starts our round of three celebrations in our family, not to mention the others just around the corner of our siblings, nieces, etc...)

Mae celebrated her 6th (6!!!) birthday on April 19. Of course, as a mommy, I have to reflect on the day she was born and then weep a little because she has grown so fast right before our eyes, and then wish I had it my way and it would take TWICE as long for them to get big and talk and need me less with each day.... sniff sniff!! Any....Way..... My first daughter had a lovely birthday, and we are truly grateful for her and all of the wonderful people in her little life.

My Lu is turning 2 on May 6!!! We just can't believe it. She's so much fun, and we've been enjoying her so much, that we hardly noticed that another year has gone by. Hopefully she won't notice that due to her big sister's birthday happening 2+ weeks prior to hers, she has gotten a little shorted on the birthday bash planning.. Is this typical for the second child?? If so, I'm sorry LuLu! There will be lots of cake (strawberry flavored, courtesy of your sister's choice for you), and probably some of her favorite HOT DOGS, so should be a fun time... you know, if and when it does happen.. hehe

Oh how we love our little girls. Wish they didn't have to have another birthday, but God is nice enough to let us have them for the time that we do, and we are so very thankful for Mae and Lu.
