Yesterday was my Sabra Lou's birthday! Yay! She turned 11. We went out to the free movie in Springfield, then the kids spend the afternoon swimming at John & Nancy's. Then Matt made her special birthday dinner of fried chicken (one of the two times in a year when we have fried chicken, and it is sooo goooood...). She got a new bike, a kangaroo webkins, a book about the Titanic, some new barrettes, and a huge box of gourmet popcorn. It was a truly Sabra day.
Tonight is her birthday party. We are going out to pizza, bowling, then her friends are coming to spend the night. It should be lots of fun. She pointed out that she's never had a slumber party before, which I guess is right, even though AJ has had several. Grammy and Papa are coming in, and Uncle Mark, Aunt Lisa and Baby Audrey will be down for a wedding, so they'll stop by, too.
I remember 11 years ago, when she was born in St. John's hospital in Springfield. Mom came down the day before, and she took care of AJ. Sabra was born at 2:26 in the afternoon, and weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces--she was a little pot roast! She's so skinny now, it's hard to believe she was my chubbiest baby. She slept 6 hours her first night, and the nurses kept telling me to wake her up to feed her, but I kept saying that she would wake up when she was hungry...which of course she did. Even then she loved to sleep!
She has always been my snuggliest, most affectionate baby. For her, coziness is a primary value. She has a beautiful, kind heart, a bright smile, and a quick and quirky mind. I am so proud to be her mommy. Happy Birthday, my precious girl!

Happiest of birthdays, sweet girl! May you bless and be blessed in the coming year and throughout your life.
Happy birthday, girl. Your name came up several times throughout the weeekend, while at Lisa's brother's wedding. Fortunately, Audrey was able to walk down the isle. She was accompanied by four other kids though.
I wish we had been able to see Audrey being a flower girl!
Sabra really is a sweet, cuddly (albiet skinny!) lovely young girl. We're happy & proud to be her grammy & papa.
Oh yes, & congratulations to Abby for getting that part! Not sure who she takes after in acting - her mom or her dad. Both were great actors!
David, congratulations on riding your bike WITHOUT training wheels! Proud of you, too!!
Grammy & Papa
Thanks for the comment love, everyone! I will make sure the kids see them all!
