I am thankful for my Grammie. For years now we have had “birthday lunch” at Italiani’s to celebrate our birthdays. With Nadia being an October baby too, she was added to the mix this year.
I am thankful that Mike got me a birthday card from Nadia with a gift card inside and signed it with her “chop” name stamp from China. It was my first Mommy card and I was so excited. He left it in her crib, so I found it when I was getting her blanket to rock her back to sleep in the middle of the night. Too cute!
I am thankful that Nadia took her first tentative step on my birthday. She was holding on to me with one hand, then let go and stood for a second or two. Then she got back up and let go again, stood there and then took a step with her left foot. Then she promptly fell over.
I am thankful that all the mentors have been introduced to their kids for the KIDS HOPE USA program and starting next week, the program will be in full force with 24 members of our church mentoring in the school each week. God is good!
I am thankful for all the calls, cards and emails I got yesterday wishing me a happy birthday. I am grateful that I have such great friends and family in my life. Below is a photo I grabbed off Jacquelyn’s blog. She took this at the sip n see the night before Nadia’s baptism.
