A few tidbits and Clara's birthday

It's been awhile since I've written because I've been busy living! In the past 2 weeks I have felt a change, I feel so full of life and happy. It's like I found myself again and it's such a relief. I think a lot of it had to do with my dads great news. This last year or so of my life and has been full of death and for the first time in long time I see the sun again (unfortunately not literally!) 

Finally, it's my baby's 5th birthday!! I can't believe it! I still remember everything about the day she was born 5 years ago! What a wonderful adventure it has been with her! I look forward to many more years with her! Last night I was holding her and joking and said "ah it's my baby" and B looked at me in a very concerned way and said "no mama eecka is not your baby, I'm your baby"! And proceeded to pull clara off my lap and she crawled into it! Little stinker! I can't wait for Clara's birthday party tomorrow. I'm glad my mom is able to sneak down here for the day and weekend! :-) should be a wonderful party and day for clara with her friends! 

Flowers from her daddy! I think the relationship Ben has formed with his girls is so sweet and so special. Clara was so excited to get flowers from her daddy that were just for her! 

Happy birthday my sweet girl! I love you so much!
