4th Birthday! Hooray





WOW!  Curtis has turned 4!  I thought a lot yesterday about going to the hospital 4 years ago and spending all Friday night bringing this precious child into the world.  I had no clue who he'd be or how much love and patience it would take everyday to raise him into a man.  Yesterday I celebrated what an emotional, kind, and responsible kid he is.  He is always concerned for his little brother, and excited to help out and meet other kids.  He often goes from normal to tears in .2 seconds.  But heck he was 3!  I am truly blessed to have him.  And so, I when I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, and he said a yellow stegasaurous cake, I decided I'd try my best.  So, here it is.  Complete with baby lizards crawling all over it!  And I gave him a cupcake to decorate for himself.  The colors of the dinosaur, he picked out himself.  Happy Birthday Curtis!!!  You have made me, and my life so much fuller.

Rare Pic of Mexican Navy Seal

My husband has an awesome sense of humor.  He sent me this from work, a rare pic of a Mexican Navy Seal.  Just a ray of sunshine from an otherwise exhausting night.  Curtis Jr woke up about 830 last night, after being asleep for an hour, crying for about half an hour.  Then relief, he threw up, and I thought it'd never stop.  But, it did.  He went back to sleep about 1030, and I woke up about every 20 mins thinking I heard him crying.
