another year for the memory books...

 We celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago...Micah of course was ecstatic to stay up late, help blow out candles (if you look closely, you may be able to figure out which birthday), and EAT CAKE! Micah is now also quite excited to go to Bible study with me every week because there is always cake. Can't beat that.

My beloved husband blessed me with a fancy night out to the Hilton hotel for dinner. A beautiful view of the Bosporus, amazing food, and delightful (kid-free) conversation. Quite comically, we were the only ones there when we arrived at 7. By the time we left at 9 there were quite a few more dinner guests...several wearing jeans. But my hubby wore a suit and tie and I wore a dress that did not have baby drool, spit-up, or finger paint on it. Harika! (Awesome in Turkish!)
