Happy Birthday Again






Today, Ashleigh and her parents came over to celebrate Anna's birthday. We had fun opening presents, swinging on the swings, and hanging out. Candy made a really good cake with mandarin oranges in the cake part and pineapple and cool whip in the frosting. It was very light and tasty. Also, we discovered where the sideways tongue gene came from. If you have been around Anna recently, you've probably seen her turn her tongue sideways. This is one of those special genetic things you hear about in biology class. We were wondering who else could do it- and now we know!

Glad you guys had a great visit with Ashleigh and her family! It's a great thing to be able to share your children with people who love them!

The swing-set looks great! I got to experience Anna's tongue-rolling ability first hand this weekend. She's quite talented! :-)

Great pictures! Looks like Anna had another fun birthday celebration! I really like the swing set - you'll have to post more pictures of the whole thing. I love seeing all those smiles! Love, Mama

Good for you AB and Brad for showing that a first mother is an ASSET to her child's life. Anna is going to appreciate the fact that you did not shut off from her the biological families out of fear. Your daughter will never have to ask those questions (who do I look like, where did I get this talent from, what is my medical background, etc.) because you have built a relationship on the shared love of a child and honesty.
