Happy --3rd Birthday Mama!!

Four weeks after my son's 3rd birthday, I had a "3rd" birthday myself! I shall not disclose which one it was!! :o) On the morning of my birthday, Scott was trying to get Alek to say "happy birthday" to me. Of course, he wouldn't do it on command. However, later in the day a spontaneous "Happy Birthday, Mama!" came out of my son's mouth and it was a precious gift to me.

My sister Susan flew in from Tenneessee to meet Alek (0h, and to visit us) and we had a great time! There was a prayer conference at our church that we had wanted to attend and so, we took full advantage of our live-in "babysitter!" Alek loves Aunt Susan and they had a lot of fun going to the park and playing. We took her to the airport a little early yesterday so that we could go inside and watch the "lotes" (airplanes) take off and land. As you can imaginie, Alek was facinated by them. He actually cried when she left because he wanted to get on the big lote too! It was quite sad, with his little lip sticking out and REAL tears! Here is a photo of my sister and me at my birthday dinner! And one of Alek with Aunt Susan.
