We got to have a little impromptu birthday party on Sunday at the local skating rink.
We had a blast skating. I had not been on skates in years, and despite a few minor stroke-related balance issues, was soon zooming around the rink like it as 1982 again. Nunie and Mike didn't venture out on skates but we did manage to coax PawPaw onto skates. He tentatively skated up to the wall but we never got him out on the floor. Best friend Jen got Julz these great balloons.
Our attempt to get a picture of her with them soon led to tragedy, as they were not tied to the bases and the ever important "3" got away.
We made the best of it.
Today, is her actual birthday. To commemorate, the Maternals sent me a "Giving Birth" Day surprise. A lovely potted pink hydrangea.
I never really thought about it, but we will only get to celebrate this way one time.
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
