happy 7th birthday bosena...
she wanted a yellow cake with blue flowers...
so i spent six hours creating one
i spent the time thinking about our journey to her,
and what she may have been doing on birthdays past
if she even knew it was her birthday at all
i cannot wait to see her face in the morning.
she has been counting down the days
until she is seven
i am still awake at 2am,
feeling so thankful to share this day with a mom on the other side of the world

sometimes i forget
we were talking this morning before school about her birthday on sunday.
she was telling me about the cake she wants,
and hitting the pinata.
then she said,
mom, stay here, six more, this house?
and it hit me.
because i forget
that she doesn't know safety
and consistency
no baby, you get to stay forever...
YES MOM! thanks!
and she was out the door to school.

H2Africa Run/Walk 2010
we had the second annual run/walk for water on the muscatine riverfront saturday morning...
there were big storms in the area
lots of lightning,
but it didn't stop these people from coming out to support a great cause!
and what a blessing it is
that my daughter shares the same passions that i do
lots of merchandise :)
and beautiful volunteers
all in all, wet, cold, and lacking in numbers...
but guess what?
families in africa will have clean water, that didn't before.
and that is what matters.
that is the goal.
clean, safe, drinkable water.

no words.
i have no words to describe how i feel about each and every person in this photograph,
except to say
they make my life full.
oh how i love them.
related?
emily and her aunt lori's feet...
i tell her all the time that her feet look just like lori's,
lori couldn't believe it either
they are definitely related :)
