  Today was Andie's 5th birthday. Amy always decorates the kitchen with streamers and balloons and stuff and put the birthday cake out on the table first thing in the morning so when the girls wake up, they see it all. It was great to see the joy that such simple things put on Andie's face. Since her birthday is the first one of the kids, I think she's surprised every year.
It was a simple celebration, just family and cake with our surrogate grandparents, Ron and Cher (even though Ron was sick). Andie picked pancakes as her birthday meal. Our family was made richer 5 years ago and God continues to bless us with the life that is hers. Happy birthday, little girl.
