Another year.....

.....older (yes), wiser (????), goofier (for sure), more talented and beautiful (I hope so)! :)

This is one of the greatest things about living in Latvia - flowers, flowers and flowers for every occassion. Good thing we got the car just in time, I had to call KB to come pick me up at school today or I would've never made it home! (And I was greeted in the car with more flowers (!!!) and champagne - hooray!)

The greatest thing about a March birthday is that you never know what the weather is going to be, and I will say especially so since living in LV. Some years I have spent my birthday in shorts, other years probably building snowmen. Yesterday, the weather literally changed every moment you looked out the window - one minute it was sunny and birds were chirping, next moment blizzard snow. We just finished studying the seasons with our kids and had told them that March is a spring month - well, they have all been looking at me thinking what are you talking about lady. I told them that spring and winter were fighting to spend the day with me on my birthday. Today, spring totally won. It was the sunniest of sunny days, and we loved it!

And a little funny from the kids today.... C is walking around with a hotdog in her mouth at lunch time, and A tells her, "You better sit down or you're gonna croak!" (Choke, croak, close enough....) :)

Love and sunshine to all today!!!
