Today we celebrated yet another birthday in our ever expanding family!! Happy Birthday Mom Jo! Believe it or not, she's only 39! :) Mom Jo does so much for our family....from special dates with the girls, movies,to doing the weekly ballet run, to 'wiping counters' with great gusto, making sure everyone has a special Christmas and Birthday, and always making sure tummy's are full. She also lives just a few doors down from us, so daily visits are pretty much the standard. The girls run amuck on her 2 acres climbing orange trees, making sand forts on the shore of the lake, picking flowers....Mom Jo usually has tea sets set up and ready to go for spur of the moment visitors (even Cade has had his share of tea!). Today, Leni got a special lunch with the Birthday Grandma at the "Elephant Bar" Restaurant. Then she and Mom Jo went to visit Uncle Vic's rescued baby squirrels. (Just Leni's thing!! The babies drink from special littlesquirrelbottles:)! Tonight we celebrated with dinner, Texas cake and American Idol. Leni had to steal the show by swallowing 2 pennies today.....and then tonight she DRANK her Xopenex asthma medicine. It's supposed to aerate into a nebulizer....but no. Not us. We drank the entire vial.(it's really sad, sad, sad when things like this almost seem normal and just another part of the day!) This could only happen on someone's birthday....and while having the worst asthma attack of the year. Dad said she would be fine. Let's hope so! Katie has an ear infection and cries when you touch her ear. Kristin is coughing...but that doesn't keep her from performing now does it?? Mom Jo brought some of her childhood pics to dinner tonight and we were suprised to see how similar she and Kristin looked at the same age! Happy Birthday Mom Jo! Here's to many more!!
P.S. Did you notice our newly capped coffee barista?! Yes, in search of big money, Julie now dons the famous Starbucks apron and hat for her part-time job (among her other 5-6) jobs (she makes me dizzy) and talks latte's, espresso's and other words I can't spell. This mommy prefers Diet Coke....but boy, oh boy is her dad happy. Oh, and pray for her. She has the 5:30 am shift on Friday.:)but you're done by 9:30 and on to her day job! Whew!
UPDATE: Last night after this was posted, we discovered Kristin had a temp. of 102 (she was still going strong), and Leni absolutely was unable to breathe. Katie was busy projectile spitting any medicine given right back at the 'giver'. After K and K were sent to bed, and we thought Leni was too....we hear 'HELP!' To find our non-breather had more than thrown-up the vial of Xopenex she had swallowed, and other items included. Today....they are all sick, sick, sick...all with different issues. On we go!!

Happy Birthday Mom Jo! And thank you dear VanLue's for again starting our day with a smile :). Kristin- the wig is so you- Miri wants one! Julie looks great- yes, having someone in the family working at Starbucks is definitely a bonus. We'll be praying everyone heals quickly!

Oh Mom Jo- You are a a Sweet Pearl:)
Happy Belated Birthday, who knew you could look that good at 30! (I still have 3 years to go;)hee-hee
Lauren just got over an ear infection and it wasnt fun we are praying for little Katie, as far as the pennies I'll leave that to you Cissy to find them and make sure they made their exit! And of course no silly cough could stop our Owen, she just keeps going and going, or should I say talking, and talking.
Jules, your the cutest starbucks chick ever! Cant wait to visit you at work...when you get the afternoon shift that is:)
Happy Birthday Mom Jo!! We hope you had a wonderful day and were spoiled rotten!! Looks like you were certainly entertained!!
