Happy Birthday to Me!

Kind of a mixed up day.



So happy to have another birthday! Seriously. Nothing like having had a potentially fatal disease to make you appreciate aging. :)



It's also a day when I miss the call my mom would have made to me, usually sometime around 5:16 pm, my birth time. :)


Took Rachel to school this morning, something that was a little anti-climatic. We did our traditional first day photos at home and at school (one at each place) but no other pictures. I guess she is too old for all that. It also doesn't help that yesterday was orientation and I wasn't there for that. First school event I have missed in several years.


I know I've posted both of these before, but I wanted to share the contrast. What a difference a year makes, huh?
