Happy Birthday to Us!

Kassie's and my birthdays are 1 day apart. The year she was born, it was the perfect birthday present not to be pregnant anymore! Last year was kind of crazy since I turned 30 and she turned 1....2 big parties back to back. This year was really fun. We had a quiet day at home (poor Timothy was sick all day), but my mother-in-law took me out to lunch. Ben showed up at home in time for dinner (a real treat these days!) AND he brought flowers for both his girls. Mine were roses and stargazer lilies (just like my wedding bouquet) and he brought Kassie a single red rose. Appropriate for a princess named Kassie Rose! She loved it and talked to her "fower" everyday until it wouldn't hold up another day. My dad sent me flowers at school on Valentine's Day every year from the time I was in junior high until I graduated from high school. It always made me feel so special and I'm excited for Ben and Kassie to develop their own special traditions.
