White Dog, Steve, Bella, Zsofia, Opal, Pearl, Bailey, Tizenegy, and Roman daily fill me with love, hope and a billion reasons to embrace life with both arms...but today, my birthday, they turned up the love full blast. I was immersed from morning until the family movie at the end of the night with a constant stream of thoughtful kindnesses and delightful surprises. And their efforts were reinforced by phone calls, gifts and wishes from so many friends who are always there to cheer, to support, to share. I am one incredibly blessed woman.
These are a few moments from a day filled with magic, music, good foods and community...

Little White Dog of My Heart how many birthdays have we shared? I hope there are dozens more.

Hey momma, I finished the scrambled eggs and bagel bite with cream cheese. Is there more?
|
 |
Love you more!

You guys! It is ECLAIRS instead of birthday cake! With custard!!!
PLUS a full performance of Verde's Aida karaoke-style with WDA and Steve in various roles and arias. I got to sing Aida's, “Ritorna vincitor” Don't cue up to purchase the album...we meant no offense to the skilled pros with our awful Italian and ranges. White Dog is threatening costumes and staging for next year.
