I still love making these photo books. It's amazing Alice will be nine years old in less than two weeks! We love her so.

Full swing into Fall routine
looking back 9 years on Mama's birthday
Today's been a day where my mind's on Mama. I made buttermilk pound cake with Alice to honor her 69th birthday, her second in Heaven. These pictures are all from a surprise 60th celebration that she LOVED. I loved surprising her and celebrating my mama and friend. There was no shadow of cancer this day, Mark and I weren't parents, lots of other things were different then too.
Mama helped me love birthdays, while many people I know don't. Celebrating another year of surviving life's challenges and experiencing all the friendships and love is WORTH a big piece of cake! She'd say "Consider the alternative". Today her alternative is better than life here, but I still miss her. I'll celebrate in honor of the love she gave so freely and her impact on my life.
