My birthday!

Here is my little family on my birthday yesterday. I don't know why I ever complain about anything. I am a very blessed person; I have the best hubby and the sweetest little girl, I have an amazing family and wonderful friends. I have nothing to complain about and I don't actually like to complain...so why do i do it? Because I am not very patient and when I get in my little mind that something should be done in a certain timeframe (oh, like an adoption!) I just get frustrated that things don't happen when *I* think they should. But, I shouldn't. I should just relax and enjoy my good life and count my blessings! :-) (See the cake Malo made and decorated for me?!?!? What a nice boy!)


Here is Aspen stealing a roll from the bread basket
at my birthday dinner last night. She is getting to be such a big girl. She is 7 1/2 months old now and doesn't she look so grown up sitting in a high chair reaching for food herself? She cracks me up. Its amazing to me how one little girl can bring so much joy and happiness into our lives. She has the greatest little personality and the sweetest smile that can melt away any frustrations. Yup, we love our little Aspen.


She has been trying to crawl for a couple of weeks now, its really funny. She gets up on all fours, belly off the ground, rocks back and forth and then usually has to put her hands in her mouth and then collapses. Its really funny!!


And then here is just a picture of me and my Malo. Isn't he the cutest ever??? :-) I had a good birthday yesterday....I'm now 29 and not too sure how I feel about being in the LAST year of my twenties.....ahhhhh!!! :-)



And my really wonderful, beautiful AWESOME friend, Keila came to visit a couple days ago. Keila is so cool. She played with Aspen - and Aspen thinks she's fan-tastic!


She also took me out for a lovely birthday pedicure - always a welcome treat for my tootsies and she took me to Carrabas for a birthday lunch. Thanks, Keila! :)

Oh and kudos to Malo on that birthday cake. His domestic skills never cease to amaze me.

Nice job on the cake, Malo! You must have been paying attention in that home ec class, eh? Oh, and Yvonne, don't look at it as the last year of your twenties, look at it as the first year of your prime. Oh yeah.
