Eleven years ago today I was walking up and down our street, trying to make the contractions get even stronger. I was so anxious to welcome into our home full of GI Joes and Batman capes a little bundle of pink.
It worked. And I tell her frequently, “You are exactly what this family needed.” 
Happy Birthday to my little Michaela.
It’s been a fun day for her. She received a very neat gift this morning from two special friends. I received the gift of getting the chance to visit with their mom for awhile over tea and bread with butter or olive oil — take your pick. It was a lovely start to our day! The girls brought Michaela a bamboo rain stick made in Indonesia. I’ll try to post a picture soon. I can’t take one now because she is showing it off to our neighbors.
Later on in the day some other friends — who usually don’t get to visit — came over and played for a few hours. We had cupcakes and chips and salsa and a delightful time.
After preparing supper and sitting down to eat as a family, I am about to put my feet up and read some more in my Charlotte Mason notebook.
Happy Tuesday!
Lynn

Dear Lynn,
Happy birthday to Michaela! We were thinking of her (Forgot to send a card)and were going to send an email, but the computer wasn’t working.
I’m sure glad you had a girl, too
Love,
Marqueta
Happy Birthday Michaela!
Thanks, Robin. We had a great day. My summer is good but just busy! I thought things were supposed to slow down in summer!
Thanks Diane M!
Gail, thank you, and I hopped over to your blog and wished you a Happy Birthday too! I’ll try to remember this next time around!
Ken, you know she had to be Princess of the Universe after three boys and 10 years’ worth of GI Joes, right?
Thanks, MamaHen and Liane and Sandra!
Thanks, Marqueta. No worries about a card. We owe you all letters big time. We have not forgotten! We’ve just been so very busy. Seems your girls and my girl have birthdays all around the same time! With our letter exchanging, I can’t remember which of your girls we have *formally* acknowledged on birthdays and which we have not!
Lynn
