Turning 27



Yesterday was my 27th birthday. I feel very old. I'm not, I just feel that way. My ten year high school reunion is in less that a year. The kids I teach (the non repeaters) were not yet in Kindergarten then. At the same time I look at Noah and think, "I have a baby". I do not yet feel old enough or nearly responsible enough to be a mother. Moms are supposed to have all the answers, I don't have answers! I amazed that God felt I was ready for this. I just remember to pray and trust that He knows I can do it!!
We celebrated my birthday at a good old family dinner at my mom's house. It was a good dinner and lots of sweet cards and presents. It was Noah's first family birthday dinner. He slept through the actual eating part but enjoyed being the center of attention and getting loved on by grandparents, great grandmother, aunts and uncles. The video I took is of my sister Emily talking to Noah. He really loves her and today when we were uploading the video he starting smiling and cooing at the sound of her voice! She definitely has the touch.

I couldn't get the video form the video camera to work so these are just shorts from our camera camera. It was easy to figure out. I saw the video of Micah that Dan out on YouTube, I agree video is better to see babies. But in May we will see the real thing!
