It's my birthday! Mommy's birthday!

It's early in the morning and I've now turned 29 for the 10th time. hehehe...*s* Do I feel different? no. Older? no. Not really. Still covering the grey hair! LOL


We went for my birthday dinner last night and we went to the Sakura Japanese Steakhouse near our house. It was great. We had a chef that was just so funny and LOVED all the kids at our table! Teasing them, throwing food at them and it bouncing off their heads. (Rebecca just about fell outta her chair laughing so hard!!) Matthew caught his food. No wasting there! :o)

The chef was also VERY impressed (as he was Asian) that our kids KNEW some Chinese. They were able to talk to him. He wanted to know all about them. What part of China they came from, how long have they been here, he was VERY, VERY interested in Matthew. Being a boy, from China and looking perfect, he couldn't understand how we adopted him. *Dr. Murthy? Your work is WONDERFUL!* With Matthew's second surgery, in February, his mouth and nose are perfect! He can breathe so much better now that his nose is FULLY opened. He doesn't snore so bad when he sleeps and mucus doesn't get "stuck" and "dried" in there. (trying not to be gross here)

Once we told the chef about Matthew, he understood. He said Matthew looked great now. He said what ALOT of Asian people say to us. LUCKY BABIES. OH, I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone has said that to us!!! We'd be RICH! It's not us being lucky to have our kids. We are BLESSED to have our kids. God's been VERY good to us. I am so richly blessed. I love my children. In the bad, in the good, in the not-so bad or good........LOL, you name it.

Anyway, the chef ended up throwing a ketchup bottle at Rebecca, but it was a GAG bottle. It just had a string in it. SCARED her silly. Instead of crying though, she looked at me and I said, "Rebecca, he's playing with you." She started BUSTING out laughing!!!!! Everyone at the table started laughing because she has a CHIPMUNK laugh like her MOMMA! *blushing*

Yep, learned it from me.

We'll see what today holds for Mom today!
