NaBloPoMo – Day 22
One year ago on Thanksgiving Day I was not busy cooking a turkey, but I was busy giving birth to my 9 1/2 pound little butterball. ;) Julian’s 1st birthday is tomorrow on Nov. 23, but Thanksgiving Day each year will always hold a special place in my heart since that is the day he came into the world. :)
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. :)

Aren’t holiday birthdays great? My 1 year old was born on Halloween (although I was expecting her more around Thanksgiving!).

Oh how fun! What are you guys doing for the birthday? I was thinking of baking gluten free wheat free and dairy free cupcakes for Max’s birthday with breast milk frosting. LOL

The http://www.5minutesformom.com/2655/cuteasabug/trackback/ led me to your blog. Thanks for what you do. :)
Your posted Thanksgiving quote is a keeper.
I had a “turkey baby” five years ago, and realize that it’s not too late to try the birthday letter writing that you do with yours. Great idea.
