1 Birthday Candle

Sweet Pea (Paula) didn't need to think more than a millisecond about what her birthday wish would be. We had some carrot cake cupcakes from Steven's favorite bake shop- Babycakes of course. Vegan, gluten-free may not have passed the Oser test earlier this morning, but dad sure did like it. We only had one candle, nervous we'd set off the sprinkler system in the hospital, but Sweet Pea got her wish sent up to the heavens.

Earlier today mom had a VERY special visit from Claire Guilbault, Christie Oser, and Anne Prat. Midnight flights and long drives were nothing for this close group of Mount Carmelites. Don't worry, they had a proper visit at home instead of a hospital hallway catch up. You ladies REALLY made mom's day!

Of course she couldn't wait to return to dad, and this evening we're doing a wine and cheese night while we watch the sun set on Paula's first day of her new year. Happy 22nd anniversary of your 39th birthday, mom!!
