Yesterday morning when I got out of the shower, I thought for sure there was a crazy rain/wind storm going on outside. I rushed to the window and did not see rain or wind. What I saw was thousands of birds flying by our house. I didn't get a picture of hundreds of them in our tree, but I got some cool pictures from my bedroom window. The pictures aren't great because they were taken through my dirty window, but you can see the birds better if you click on the picture and enlarge it. I guess the birds were letting us know they are going down south to get out of this cold weather... speaking of flying south and cold weather, we are driving ourselves down south to spend Thanksgiving with my family! Hopefully there will be warmer weather down there! Either way, I am excited to see my family!
Saturday was quite the busy day for me! Not only was it Nelson's Birthday Party, but I also went to the New Kids On The Block concert that night. The day started at 6:00 a.m. when I started making the cake and ended at midnight when I got home from the concert. I was so tired the next day, but it was so worth it! Here are some pictures to prove how great my day was!
My gorgeous little boy turned 1 today! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone! He has brought so much joy and excitement into our lives. And, he amazes us every day with the things he learns and explores.
I am glad that we had already decided to celebrate his birthday on Saturday because both he and I are sick today. I know, not a fun way to celebrate your 1st birthday. Richard keeps reminding me that he doesn't know it is a special day. But, I know it is! I think it's just the 24 hour bug because we are both feeling much better than we did last night and this morning.
We will go to his year check-up tomorrow and then I will post his 1-year-old stats... because I'm that type of Mom.
I love you, Nelson, more than any words or actions can describe. Your Mom is just so glad God entrusted you in her care! Happy 1st Birthday!
