My Husband "Subvet" says that when our first son "Sonshine" was born the sun rose on our world, when our second son "Gator" was born the sun laughed and when our daughter "Sugars" was born all the flowers bloomed. That says it all.

Happy 8th Birthday to my Sonshine!
































Last Saturday we had a great family party at Denny's, they sang and were terrific! We were thrilled that the "balloon guy" was there the day of our party too raising money for missions.







As soon as he'd opened the last gift Sonshine announced, "Well, I think it's time to go home now!"

Then, on the way home he said, "Mom, that was my best birthday party EVER!!"

what more can you ask for??




We thought you'd never.......

It's the story of your life! We thought we'd never have kids, we thought you'd never survive, we thought you'd never walk, we thought you'd never talk, we thought you'd never be mainstreamed in school, we thought you'd never read,.......

You've taught us to QUIT THINKING!!!


Happy Birthday to my Extra Special Extra Wonderful Extra Excitable Sonshine!

Love Mommie.
