I just realized it’s my birthday already because I’m up past midnight, again!

I feel totally and truly blessed to have my family, the whole lot of them. Chiara asked me today what do I call my family that is my parents and brothers if I call my husband and children my immediate family. I don’t know the answer! Are we all immediate family?

In any case, my husband and kids are healthy, seemingly happy, and they make me smile and laugh a million times a day. And the rest of my family and extended family are supportive and loving. I can’t complain!

So, on this, my birthday, I just want to say that I already have everything I could want.

On a summer afternoon when the girls insisted on doing 

their own hair.
