[Does Birthday Dance]

Kiddo is 14 today! :)
I had intended to post a poem that my good friend James wrote for Kiera when she turned five. Well, I think it was when she turned five, although that seems too long ago to be accurate).

Anyhoo, I couldn't find the poem. Darn it. I'm pretty sure I have the paper copy at home somewhere, but the electronic copy...well thats MIA. Currently. I don't think Yahoo archives that back (or my storage isn't capable of it, anyway.).

Birthday dinner tonight, lake all day tomorrow and Jana's party Sunday are great ways to celebrate a birthday weekend. And next weekend, when Kiera's friends are back in town, we'll do the requisite drive-mom-crazy birthday/slumber party.

I always hate leaving her at home on her birthday while I go to work, but I always try to make it special for her regardless. Here's her post on this year's effort:

Wow! Haha. Great birthday so far(: Woke up to 13 text messages, a colorful "Happy Birthday" message on my mirror, a mcfrappe, and a birthday set-up in the kithcen, which includes a banner, confetti, a crown, and beautiful pink roses with a baloon!! (Thanks mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I'd say that was a success. I love to make her happy...as I'm sure all mothers do for their kids!
Of course, with my new workout schedule, it took a pre-5am wake up to get it all done. Now that's serious love!
Anyhoo, that is all for today. I'll post the poem if I find it (and the time) later.

Hug your babies...they grow up too fast!
