I didn't really have a post in mind today but since sweet Kim (Red Mary Janes) at the Seventh Diamond is sending people over, I thought I had better put something up. Yes, today I am 40! UGH!

I don't really have many baby pictures of myself but I dug these two out. In fact, these are the only ones I could find. My Mom took a lot of photos, we just are not sure where they are.

I am thinking that I am about 5 or 6 here.

Me and my sister, Dawn. I am the fair haired one.

My friend, Elissa brought me my favorite breakfast and some amazing gifts this morning. She gave me a charm that is the Chinese symbol for friendship and my favorite bath salts and shower gel that she tracked down at a spa in Houston. Apparently, I told her about them a long time ago. That is the kind of friend she is. I am so lucky. She is also keeping Kate busy as I type this. Thank you for all of the kind wishes!

These GORGEOUS flowers just arrived at my door from Diana and Ruby Mei! Thank you so much. You know that I love orchids! This made my day. Miss Katie Ru had us up a lot last night and I am utterly exhausted. I was having the after lunch sleepies when they arrived and they perked me right up. You are so sweet Diana!!

  18. Happy 40th Birthday Kim!!
    You look fabulous at 40!! It's so funny to see your baby pictures, I don't see you in the first one with the yarn bows (I use to wear those too!), but I definitely see you in the younger baby one....they're both so cute!! Thanks for sharing those. :)
    My birthday wish for you is that this next year ahead is one of the best yet and that your whole family gets a great night of rest tonight! :)
    Enjoy your special day!!

  20. I was going to write a special happy birthday message in my last post, but wasn't sure if you were letting everyone know today was the big day. I'm glad that you did...but I guess you didn't have a choice.

    I LOVE the photos! So cute!

    I hope you have a wonderful birthday and that this year brings you LOTS of joy (and maybe a little sleep, too).

    Happy Birthday Kim!!!

    Love,
