Today on February 3rd, 1993 my 3rd son and my fifth
child was born. I have always been so thankful I kept having babies.
This is Elliot, opening his birthday present. My children decided
that he needed a new computer so last week they pooled
their money together and bought him this.
It was so hard keeping quiet. We have laughed today at how
we all kept secrets and now it makes sense to him.
When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he told me an
I Pod, he said that I got a funny look on my face. What he didn't
know was I was wondering what I was going to do come Thursday
morning and how was I going to say sorry, you can't have one.
He had no idea what this was, not expecting a Alienware.
Computer. Not expecting a computer at all.
I loved the look on his face of utter surprise. Of disbelief.
It was so hard keeping quiet. On Wednesday when it came
we hid it and my youngest son wrapped it while I just talked
nonsense about what he was doing.
I am so happy it turned out to be such a surprise and
I am so thankful that he is my son. I have been truly
blessed.
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Mom
