{44}

i am now 44
not quite sure how i feel about that number
i certainly don't feel that number
so i guess i'll just ignore it....how's that??

we had a beautiful day together



dave made me one of my favorite dinners,
it was oh so yummy

the girls had fun decorating for our little party with friends


after dinner i had just a brief moment to sit on the porch and
watch my world


it's not often that we get a moment to really just sit and take it all in
really look and really see all that we have to be so thankful for

they weren't doing anything different then we do most nights after dinner
but it sure was special
they are all mine and i am truly blessed
i think this was my favorite moment of the day


i love the mesmerized looks kids get on their faces when lit birthday cakes are around


janey explaining to me how to make that perfect wish


i think i got it!
let's just pray i get it!

thank you for a wonderful day
and for all the sweet cards that came my way.
here's to being 44 and
 here's to the best year yet!

have a happy day,
cindy
