How old are you Mommy?

Today is my 35th birthday. Exactly 17 years ago I graduated from high school. It is amazing how fast life happens! This morning before church I opened up some cards and presents from my family. I received a lot of nice things: another rechargeable battery for my camera, a 1/2 hour photography lesson, a portable vacuum cleaner for my car, a gift card to Starbucks, a new lunch bag, and a Michigan t-shirt. The most unique present was a reversible beach blanket that Leah and Elizabeth helped my mom sew. They each picked out the fabric for their side. The thought, hard work, and creativity that went into the gift makes it very special.
