Tea or Reading Time?

Birthday Bliss...

A couple snapshots from my birthday day...

• Coffee with a good friend
• Lunch with my husband and daughter
• Phone calls and happy birthday greetings from facebook
• Birthday cards from the mail
• Playing and taking walks with Jaala in the warm weather, 70 today!  On my birthday, in Wisconsin, that never happens.
• Meeting new friends, watching them squeeze Jaala's checks, because she is so cute!
• Laughing with Jaala
  
• Having fun watching Jaala splash in the tub.
• Reading stories and praying with Jaala to have a good night.
• Being silly!

Tomorrow's agenda:  Dinner and a movie with the handsome hubby!  Plus free babysitting is always nice!  Thanks Molly and Bill!

Sorry I haven't posted in ages...

A few updates with the Baum's

• Went to Germany for Christmas, enjoyed family and our little trip to Southern Germany to see were Matthew went to boarding school, Black Forest Academy.
• Matthew and Jaala got sick on our trip, still recovering from a virus.
• Matthew is looking into three semesters of internship, instead of two.
• I am still selling Mary Kay, let me know if you need anything!
• Jaala is growing, talking more, loving dolls, purses, tea parties, and books.  She is such a girly girl!
