{Melinda} This is so sweet, Ann Marie. She is a doll. This weekend was my son’s birthday. He’s 13. Wow. And playing baseball. Take that, CF! Waiting on a lung culture for him … would appreciate your prayers, sweet friend.

Happy Birthday to M!!! 13…wow…it’s a big one! I love that he is playing baseball and proving that CF won’t win. You always have my prayers and I will continue to pray for a good culture. I am waiting on a call to put both boys on antibiotics. They have sinus infections and are feeling pretty lousy. I know you keep them in your prayers as well but if you could please say a prayer that they start to feel better, it would be much appreciated
Happy birthday to your little girl! She looks so excited about her birthday.
Chocolate covered strawberries….yum.

Thanks, Jessica! I wish the chocolate calories didn’t count since it is covering the strawberries.
Oh my gosh! How sweet was Gia! I don’t think I ever realized how much your oldest daughter looks like you! I am hoping everyone starts feeling better.
Oh and we bought strawberries two weeks in a row now!

I love that you said she looks like me! I think so too but whenever I say that I am met with an eye roll and a “Sure…” Thanks for the sweet words!
What a wonderful time to be had by all!
Gia really has the best smile. It’s like all of her in there, each and every time.

I am a huge sucker for that smile. How can you stay grumpy when that face is staring at you? Thanks for the kind words.
She looks so stinking happy! And yum to those strawberries!
She makes me want to be 3 again so I can be that happy about my birthday and they were.
Looks like Gia had a lot of fun celebrating her special day. Great pics. Thanks again for linking up!

Gia’s face with the I love presents caption is awesome! Every child deserves to have that face at their birthday party.
