Just Another Day....

Isn't it funny how as time goes on, your birthday just feels more and more like any normal day? I am totally fine with it, but I always remember back to a few memorable birthdays of mine when I was younger...I loved my Birthday! Now birthdays consist of carpooling for preschool, going to the scout office for pack meeting this Thursday, kids playing, dishes, laundry, and soccer games. I guess that's why we should appreciate these kids. They help us remember that life isn't all about us and can destroy every bit of selfishness we might have as soon as they walk in the door and "need" something from you. Actually, I had a nice day. Some friends and I are going to see the "Maid of Honor" movie with Patrick Dempsey this weekend. I am sooo excited. Oh... and Carter played excellent in his soccer game and scored a goal. He told me he did it for my birthday present. How thoughtful---

Who doesn't LOVE the "Awkward" Stage?

Looking back at your old pictures, don't we all have a few that just seem a bit "awkward"? Don't get me wrong, I love this kid to death--but most times when I am trying to listen to what he is telling me, I cannot focus on anything but his front permanent tooth! You've all seen them. You've all had them. I think it's what happens between ages 7-12?? The tooth is about 4 times larger than the others and it is just there. All I can do while he is telling me about his day... is just Smile Big right back at him! I LOVE IT!
