Birthday Blessings

Well, I have been enjoying all the little emails and posts on facebook and phone calls - whew! I'm very thankful so many people have thought of me today!

It's a good day. My oldest brother called and we talked for 2 hours!!!! That was fun!!!

I have the three youngest home with me today; Curt took the three oldest to Farm Fest Day sponsored by Bob Jones University. It's an overcast day, windy, lovely temperature; in truth, the perfect fall day. The kids and I ran a couple errands and came home and Isaiah helped bake my cake.

God sent me flowers today, via my new neighbors. The Reinas have been very kind to us since moving into the neighborhood, and Phoebe and Isaiah went down there with a thank-you card for some items recently given to Phoebe. For their return trip home, they were given some snacks and a HUGE dark orange mini-mum plant. It's simply gorgeous! Of course, the neighbors had no idea it was my birthday, they were just being kind, as always! But, God knew it was my birthday, and now I have a wonderful spray of color for my kitchen. Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Reina!

I have a sleeping baby, a mug of delicious coffee (with cream and sugar, of course!), and a lazy afternoon of doing whatever I want. What more could I possibly ask for?!
