A Panda Cake

Today is my 26th birthday. That doesn't really seem that old to me, but I guess I would have thought so back when I was ten years younger. I will be a mom before I turn 27! Bo tells me all the time that he doesn't want to be an "old dad" who is too run down to play with his kids, but all it makes me think is, "Does he think that I am an OLD MOM?" It's not like I am gonna be on one of those makeover shows in six months with bad roots and outdated clothes saying, "I know I just let myself go!"

Well, my sister Amy came to visit San Antonio this weekend, and she had a very special birthday present for me. She found a copy of my favorite book when I was little. I tried to find a picture of it online, but it was printed in 1978 and no one seems to have one. The book is called "Panda Cake" and is the story of a family of pandas who gather all their favorite ingredients to make a very special cake. If there is one thing I love, it is a good piece of cake! That story had been read to me so many times (when I was probably 4 years old), that I memorized the words even though I couldn't technically read them off the page. The book Amy found online was in decent shape (considering it is 30 years old) and it was such a nice surprise! Our first baby book. Hope there are lots more to come!
