Kate is Five!

It’s Kate’s birthday today.  On Mothers’ Day five years ago, after eight hours of intense, drug-free labor, I pushed out this red-faced, shrieking, gorgeous baby girl.  She’s been my best pal ever since.  Today we are celebrating the birth of this beautiful child with party games and prizes, balloons and birthday cake.

Happy Birthday, pal, and many more.  May your life be wonderful, and full of sweet surprises and lots and lots of love.
