My Birthday

I had to share a couple wonderful gifts I got for my birthday. The first is the famous (to my fellow C-country/Africa adopting moms) necklace.

The second is another necklace I got from my mother-in-law that is purple (of course!). It is a little hard to see the 'T' at the end, but it says, ADOPT. I have never seen anything like this and I love it. Also, her purchase of this gift for me helped feed one orphan for a month. SWEET!Probably my favorite gift on my birthday was getting to watch my boy play with his new train in his p-poppers in the morning. Even though I have been a mom for almost two years now, I can still remember the aching feeling of not being a mom. Which is why hearing Abram say, "watch mommy" is my absolute favorite sound in the world right now.He also got a little electrical Thomas.
We like to have extended birthday celebrations around here. My friend, Molly, came and stayed with us Tuesday night. On Wednesday Jason took the day off. We ate Thai food for lunch. YUM!
I was really hoping Abram would love it. He tried a pad Thai noodle and ate a couple bites of fried rice but that was about it. We'll have to keep trying.
After lunch we went to see the horses on campus (behind Fredricksen Court).

Abram also got to see a train go by (you can see it in the background), which provided double the entertainment.

We had a great time.
