dear norah

Friday was my birthday. I am 26. I don't want to talk about it. Just kidding- it isn't a big deal to me to be a year older. Anyway. I was spoiled like a little girl. After sleeping it, I woke up to Daddy telling me that my friend Linzi had a surprise planned for me. She had me over for lunch with Heather, Logan, Caroline, Theo and Jude. You are a lucky little girl having all boy-friends :) The meal was delicious and Heather and Linzi thought of everything: dipped fruit, Izze and beautiful flowers. Then I came home and daddy had a video made for me (I'm trying to upload it- we'll see if it works) with clues as to what my present was and where it was. Then Cosette came over with birthday greetings, love and a cookbook! Afterward Bri and I hung out and then went together at a delightful Mediterranean food place: The Pomegranate. It was DELICIOUS! They had these fried avocado, pepper and sun-dried tomato egg rolls- WOW! To say the least, it was a fabulous birthday. My sister, mom and dad timed their cards/gifts perfectly in the mail, so I received them on my birthday. I had already been spoiled by other siblings and friends through gift, calls and emails. I felt very loved. It was fun being with friends on my birthday. I felt like a little girl at a birthday party (without the overwhelmed feeling- luckily.) Many thanks to the love I was shown. Norah, you showed me your love by biting me twice during a feeding- thanks, but no thanks! Luckily you are the cutest and loveliest little girl I know so I still love and feed you. :)

love,
mom
