Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear Carsonator!!!! Happy birthday to you!!!!

Our sweet boy is 13 today! If you read this and feel like calling him to wish him a special day, please do. He isn’t doing anything special for his first teenage day, and I’m feeling so sad about that. He and his daddy went to see Van Halen a couple of weeks ago so he had an early birthday gift.

Today’s our last day at sea, and we’re ready to get home to our babies. Oh, how I can’t wait to hear “Mom-mom” and feel their precious arms around my neck. Maybe we’ll do the “family bed” tomorrow night!!! Please pray for me today as my heart is really aching to be with my babies and especially to give my big guy a special day. I can only pray from here,though.

We’ll have a fun day with the Carons and a really special, nice dinner tonight. Of course, I’ll be receiving a massage at 3:00!!!!

Can’t wait to post pics when we get back!!

The goofy dreadlocked kid on the end is the birthday boy!!!
