Happy Birthday

My day consisted of going out to eat a yummy lunch at Chilis, having the most fabulous strawberry cake made by my good friend Annie who is starting her Twenty One Cakes (her little guy has DS too). She made Scott's amazing Geocaching cake too. Then we went to Missouri State to hear the boys sing The National Anthem and a bit of the Lady Bear game.

(sorry, the pic is of the big screen since we were behind the singers)

I'm really not into sports so we left after half time. Then I said I wanted Orange Leaf so off we went. That stuff is so yummy! Definitely ate more calories today than I should have but you only turn 40 once right? So now I get to clean the house, it's a pit. I didn't get anything done during our snow days since I was so sick so I better get busy.

Today is always a bittersweet day for me. I can't help but think of Alice Rebecca Cooper. (No I've never met her and have no idea where she is) The woman who gave birth to me then put me up for adoption. It's the best thing she could have done for me, that's for sure. I always wonder if I have siblings. I imagine I do but who knows. Adoption is such a wonderful thing but there are these feelings as well. I'm so thankful that Addy will always know that her birth parents love her and think about her. She will always know her biological brother. She really has the best of both worlds, she such a lucky little girl :)
