last night three of my kids and one grandchild came together for dinner (to a favorite mexican food restaurant) and cake (here) in honor of my girl and my son too, celebrating his from last month and hers on sunday. happy birthday my babies. my grown up babies. i can't believe thirty two years ago yesterday i became a mom. i was twenty three on that best day of my life. it's kind of shocking to have a child this age, and then to be my age. well, cake helps. :)
i have some links to share, there is so much goodness in the world, just look...
can't stop watching this and wishing it to be me someday too ~
some of you liked mine so i found some for you here ~
a lovely blog and look at this give away (i'm wishing)! ~
we'll be staying two nights (in may) here! ~
hee hee here ~
went here last week for a lecture, learned so much, he is an inspiration (see here).
loved this movie, it's a true story, i wish i were that good! ~
i hope you enjoyed, and i hope you have a wonderful week ahead, we're going camping! thank you so much for all the lovely words on my last post, the blue shawl. i do want to make one for me, but right now i'm finishing up (finally) the last of the pi shawl, an eight stitch sideways knitted on border. all the way around one thousand one hundred and fifty two stitches. it is definitely jameson knitting.
