Soul Food

You know those people in your life whose presence can completely revitalize you? For me, those people are my college friends. We all met this weekend in KCMO for another friend's wedding. Our visit lasted roughly 24 hours, and we had the very best time. When we're together, I laugh hard, maybe cry a little, and really just feel as though my soul has been heartily fed. I love, love, love these girls -- and I love the fact that we can always just be us when we're together. Case in point: we had to take this dorky banister picture at Craig and Lisa's house!
Can you believe it's Birthday Week at our house?! Right now Sara enjoys playing with the magnet letters on the fridge, pointing at everything she sees (and doing the "no-no" finger point/shake), using her sign-language to say "more" and "all done", walking with the help of furniture, looking at the Christmas tree, brushing her teeth, and dancing. She also loves going to school and has recently started throwing fits when it's time to go home. Her favorite friend at school is Will, and her favorite teacher is Ms. Rekha. I'm thrilled that she's so happy at school; almost daily we discover something new she's learned, and it's just so fun to see her developing socially and intellectually. I guess the only bad part about it is just that she's growing so ... fast. (You all told me it would happen that way!)

Stay tuned this week for more Big Birthday Girl updates!

I'm glad I got to see you but wish I could have hung out with you. We have to do it again without a wedding =D
