my gosh! i'm so happy to have such wonderful host parents. they wern't able to be here for my 16th birthday on the 2. so they surprised me with a cake (backed by my host dad) and balloons and streamers before dinner. they'd already left my other presets with the neighbors and i honestly couldn't have been more surprised or elated. it's a good feeling when you realize that people truly and sincerely care for you.

with love

A LITTLE CELEBRATION.

 So, today was my baby brothers 5th birthday! It was a good day, a lot of laughing and giggles! It was a small get-together: just my brother, mom, his dad and me. I took lots of pictures to be sure that I remember this day. He's 5 now, ans he's starting school in September. 2 weeks! My gosh, just yesterday he was in diapers. We go school shopping for him soon, so I'll be back soon. this week is just so busy. A birthday, school shopping, check ups and a lot of planning for Germany. It was nice to have a day to just celebrate. I love my brother and I love that there's a day in the year just to make him laugh and watch him smile.

Happy 5th Bobby-yum, I love you so much!
