Two Very Special Birthdays!

Number one special birthday was last Saturday...MINE!!! With all the commotion this week, I haven't had a chance to post about it. My husband went to the local QUILT SHOP!!! And picked out a quilt instruction book and had them help him purchase all the fabrics for me to make a quilt! And then he drove into Albuquerque to buy me some of my favorite See's chocolates to go with it, and a really sweet birthday card that has a recording of his voice then some music. That was so extra special for him to do all of that for me! But THEN he came home and baked me a birthday cake from SCRATCH! My absolute favorite recipe with chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting, YUM!!! So I had an awesome birthday!

I did need a little help to blow out all 51 candles!

And today is my beautiful mother's 90th birthday!!! (Can you believe it?!?!)

Happy Birthday, Mom!!! We love you very much!!!

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own. If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilites across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children."
