Today is my daughter's birthday. I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Labor wasn't at all what I expected. In fact I didn't even know I was in labor. If it hadn't been for my mother telling me to go to the hospital when I did, it probably would have been too late. My monthly cramps were worse than labor, so having her was a breeze. (The son made up for that easy labor four years later though. Can't get away with anything. ) Now she has a daughter of her own and is experiencing the joy a daughter can bring. Here is a picture of her surrounded by money when she was little. (She grew up to be an accountant.) Happy birthday Heather!
I can't forget another birthday today either. A friend of mine shares the same birth date as my daughter. She likes to remind me that I am six months older than she is and there is nothing I can do about that. I can't even make fun of her age without exposing mine. (Darn!) But wait, I think there was a mistake on my birth certificate and actually Karen, you are six months older than me. (Are you buying it?) Anyway, Happy birthday Karen Amendola......

Thanks for the sweet post about my birthday! I love your idea about taking a similar picture of Olivia. I think that will be a great present for Grandma and Grandpa. Do you remember how much money they used?

Sorry, I don't remember. I don't think it really matters. It was mostly change with a few bills thrown in. Do you still have that change jar? You could use that. Mom
