the birth-day - - it's been one year!:in wee morning hours: spend a few minutes daydreaming about the day Selma was born - - remembering the way she came out with just two little pushes ("not even any crazy pushing faces", Joshua told me); amazing at how much we loved her from the very beginning . . .
that afternoon:go to the toy store to pick out a gift; do other fun things while we're at it
find the thirty minute time slot in the afternoon when every one is home and awake; stick a candle (one, of course!) in the last piece of apple pie, and sing a happy birthday song!
then go to bed. The day after, have Selma play hard with the the sweet-awesome gifts that she scored from all the people wanting to celebrate her.

Happy birthday, Selma! :-)
happy birthday selma!!!!
nice recap too!
I jsut can't keep up! I have a bag of stuff to send, but hmmm...probably won't be there til christmas! Give her a really good squishy hug and kiss for me! (Poor #3's, they don't even get a cake...:()
I remember the cake I made for Josu. A 5" layered cake. Just the right size for him. It had frosting, fresh fruit on top and of course a candle. HE CRIED! Oh, well we enjoyed the cake. Maybe he would of been happier with a pie, especially since that is the Smith tradition for birthdays!
Happy Birthday Selma!!!
Love,
Grandma and Grandpa
