This week was Matt's Birthday. He turned 35 on Wednesday. Abby was so excited to celebrate. The day did not turn out like we had hoped. First, I was at the hospital for 4 hours taking a glucose tolerance test. Second, David was sick with an ear infection so Matt was on the phone most of the morning trying to get David an appointment to see a doctor. Third, the house was a mess b/c Matt was working on installing a new dishwasher, but did not have the right parts.
We took Abby to church, and she told everyone that Daddy had a very sad birthday. I asked her what she thought would make it a happy birthday. She said, "We need people to come to the house, then it would be a happy birthday." So after church we had Abby's little cousins come to the house with some of my family and Mona and Ron. We ate ice cream cake and the kids screamed of excitement the whole time. The day turned out to be a Happy day after all.
Since then, Matt has been pretty sick. He has caught some virus and has bronchitis on top of that. I have not yet been able to take him out for a birthday date. In spite of this not being a "perfect" birthday celebration, we are still happy to celebrate at all.
Happy Birthday, Matt! You mean so much to us. You are an amazing husband and Daddy and the Lord has filled our lives with great joy because of you.
