Mommy - 43

*****Happy Birthday Mommy!*****

Tonight we had a girls night out... in celebration of mom's birthday. :) Dad snapped these pictures right before we left the house. Brittany and I treated mom to dinner at a local Italian restaurant. We went to Ross' and Target to help her pick out some cute clothes. While there we ran into Matthew, Joey, Chrissie, and Mr. Ricardo!! :) Then we treated her to a Starbucks Frappacino. I praise God for the 43 years of life that HE has blessed her with. And that HE saw fit to make her my *mommy*. I am so blessed!! Life is so fragile and I am really glad we were able to spend this time together. I pray that she will continue to be strengthened in the faith and that we will continue to grow closer together as a family. I wish we would have gotten a sibling picture there at Starbucks - but we didn't. :( We were talking about this interesting fact: Matthew & Brittany were both born in Florida and they resemble alot - they look like mom who was raised in FL. Joey & I were born in Connecticut and resemble alot - we look like dad who was raise in CT. Must have been something in the water!? Haha.

While gone, I sure did miss Tony, and I was so glad to come home to My Prince Charming!! He even got a tall black coffee from Starbucks and my leftover veggie lasagna. I love him that much -- and so much more!! ;)
