Blog of the Week
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Ooo… did I say it twice? Yes, I did. ‘Cause there were two birthdays that I’m happy with. Two birthdays which were only three days apart. Birthdays of One Tall Momma’s beautiful daughters!
Thus, the Blog of the Week award goes to her. Congratulations!
She’s a divorced mother of 4 wonderful children. Again, the two birthdays were her daughters. Her first and her second. It must have been an amazing week for all of them!
What makes it special is that the first daughter, the blue-eyed, Samantha, as her mother wrote, is the first born daughter of a first born daughter of a first born daughter of an only child, a daughter. She’s special!
Moreover, Samantha was born after her momma had to go through an infertility treatment.
Then, two years after, the green-eyed girl, Eleanor, was born. What makes her special is actually about her momma’s feeling. By the time Eleanor came into the world, her momma was ready to welcome a new baby, but she was not sure of her heart. She asked herself … Did I have room in my heart to love another the way I loved my first?
Well, I think there are other moms out there who had the same feeling with their second child. Would they love the second child as much as they love the first?
Then, finally, her mother did find a room for her. And it grew, as the baby did.
Oh… beautiful!
Your girls are truly the gifts and blessings, mama!
Happy birthday to Samantha and Eleanor…

Awwww (blushing)…
Thank you so much. As soon as I read this I yelled for the girls. They are thrilled as well.
To be honest, they were hard posts to write. Being two years apart means that the girls do tend to compare and contrast…everything They are good friends but still competitive. I was afraid that they would compare the two posts and find one lacking…which turned out not to the case.
Well, I am off to make one final cake for the big family party this afternoon. Grandparents, cousins, Aunts and Uncles. And then Birthday Hell Week will be over for another year.

You’re right, Chelle. I wonder if someday I have girls at their age :).
