Per her request, Hila woke up to a room full of balloons and had cake for breakfast. She really enjoyed wielding the birthday girl authority over the day. I adore my sweet little girl, she is so thoughtful, and very patient with me.

My dear ‘ol dad turns 50 something today and doesn’t look a day over 45! We forced him to celebrate last night during the superbowl (no he’s not a hardcore fan) with chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting. The groundhog has predicted 6 more weeks of winter! Happy Birthday Dad!

Sweet Hila Camille is turning 5 tomorrow. In some ways I can’t believe she’s only turning 5. She seems too perceptive and artistic to ONLY be turning 5. We’ve been celebrating since Saturday with a trip to build-a-bear where we spent more on a stuffed rabbit and stuffed rabbit clothes than I’ve spent on an [...]

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?”. She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over 30 [...]

My “present” from birthday alarm.com
How I approach life and how I appear to others
You are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair,
always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see
the other side of an issue. Even if you strongly disagree with
someone, you will try to find points of similarity and agreement

On this day 35 years ago Bridger Jay Smith came into the world! What a cute little baby he was at 1 year old! I really wanted to scan in some pictures of the fun ways we have celebrated BJay’s birthday in the past. But my scanner doesn’t work with my computer [...]
