eliza just waking up on the morning of her birthday, 6 at night for our party yesterday:)
good morning beautiful! you are 1!!!!
so shel and i both had to do it with out our guys!
here is shel manning the phone and the camera and eliza!!! you did good shel:) mom is very proud of you!
so sorry james couldn’t be there, but we did have a great time with everyone….. that connected to wish eliza a happy birthday! it was fun watching her, here she is getting her pancakes for her birthday cake, she got pancakes with whip cream and strawberries!
she was quite entertaining. thanks to everyone that made it special for them in korea:) steph and elden …… i am soooooo glad you came. here are some of the party “goers”
we could see everyone or just see eliza, most of the time we chose the big screen with her on it
i took most of my pics on the computer screen, we had it on the tv also, but where i was sitting the pics looked better on my screen, here she is opening the drum from UA and adrienne and she beat the drum like it was natural to her!!!
do we have another musician on our hands?!?!
shel had cori make cupcakes for the party and they are having the same ones over there, so they could feel like we were together, here is a pic of them and the cake i made to match:)
and she had a wall of pics of eliza behind her high chair and we had a door of pics in the kitchen! here is corrine checking them out, i put her birth announcement from the paper and her baptism pic on there, along with the announcements shel sent
here you are opening your bitty baby, nana and papa gave you
the table and chairs that grandpa rockhill and cheryl sent you made for some colorful pictures!…..she loved the book, whit’s mom sent over there for her with pics of enola and others in there, she kept going back to that!
most of my pics were taken of the screen, but here is one i took of kathy, dustin, and grandpa rockhill, grandpa skypes with shel and james and i think that is so awesome that someone from his generation is able to do that:) so he can watch his great grand daughter, his georgia peach as he calls her, grow up:)
mike got on and off, he didn’t have a very good connection, but he sure entertained all of us:)
i was fine all night, til corinne and dustin got ready to leave then i lost it………when i hug dustin, it’s like i’m hugging james and i closed my eyes and wanted so bad to open them again and for it to be james… because that would mean we would all be together!!!! i am thankful for what we got to do though… and i am sure eliza won’t remember us not being together:)
i love you little girl with my whole heart!
and mike get home!
i don’t like it when you are not here!!! you missed getting all the tears on you!
Oh Verna. You held up all evening, but I really hated to leave you alone.
THANK YOU so very much for opening your home and your heart to all of us.
You are greatly loved and appreciated. God Bless you! ♥
thank you cheryl, it was good to be surrounded by family:) love < +
