My real birthday started out like most other days- feeding Kaya in the dark hours of the morning and going for a 4-mile run afterward. Today was a little different, though- I was happily surprised with the best gift a baby can give her mama… a nap! I got about two extra hours to sleep and it felt marvelous.
My visiting teacher left some delicious gingersnap cookies on my doorstep, but other than that we had a pretty normal day of cleaning, playing, and storytime…
… until Lelia and Jeff came over with some homemade Nutella cupcakes! YUM! (I know you’re wishing Lelia was YOUR sister now. Too bad. She’s taken!)
They sang my favorite Primary birthday song……and a blurry version of myself blew out the candles.Happy quarter-century to me!
