Another year older!

I celebrated another birthday yesterday, and even though Chris wasn't in town, he made sure I knew he was thinking of me. We had already been on a date before he left, and he had already given me my gift, so I sort of thought that was that. I received an e-card from him yesterday with a little riddle, which led me to a note and treat he left for me. Then today I got another e-card with a riddle leading me to another note and another little treat! Since we aren't able to talk (because he is in a pretty remote location without cell service), I think it is really sweet that he made sure I "heard" from him each day. The only problem is that now I expect to get one again tomorrow. :)

I did have something very special happen yesterday. It was the first time Ava REALLY laughed. She has done something that resembles it before, likely by accident, but this was the first time it was unmistakable! What a precious gift for me!
