1240 PLEASE ACCEPT THIS HEARTFELT INVITATION TO REVEL IN MY JOY :)


2015
I'm sure to have mentioned that on Saturday
Dear friends are throwing a baby shower
In celebration of Ravi's birth, at my house
Why will we gather in my home?
Because the spacious living areas in my home were
Specifically designed with this thought in mind:
Each time life offers our spirits reason to soar
It's our heartfelt pleasure to open our front door and
Welcome an expansive list of family and friends who
Prove eager to partake in our joy
And as my quintet of hostesses plan to
Arrive early to set up and remain afterward to tidy up
My mind feels as peaceful as my heart feels well loved
And perhaps, once these festivities have been
Snapped up by my memory bank and saved for future enjoyment
My think tank will feel ready to pen
Part three of our family's Heaven Sent Toy Catalogue Plan
As for now, gifts, which have been chosen in hopes of delighting
My quintet of friends, who have invited our nearest and dearest to
Enjoy this joyous event, are in need of being gaily wrapped and bow'd
And as today's train of thought is also a wrap
I'll wish you the same five star day that I plan to enjoy, myself!
Why?
Because in less time than it takes to blink twice, life flashes by as fast as
We can scroll through this brief slideshow of
Eye sparkling snapshots, which spaning my lifetime
Showcases why two generations, grown toward maturity
Look forward, each day, to reveling in the miracle of life from
The wide-eyed, innocent, inquisitive, eager to
Absorb-it-all perspective of childhood, because
Children are born intuitively connected to positive focus, suggesting
The strength of their belief that anything and everything is possible as long as
We work, together, to right whatever goes wrong :)

Mommy, Annie and Lauren :)

Ain't life grand! :)
My three sons :)

Thank goodness, some things never change :)

As Will's mom once said:
If you have boys, one day you'll have girls :)

2015 and our family's precious present :)

At this point in my life you can see why I hope not to miss out on
Any opportunity that offers me time to rejoice in
The precious presence of a person who inspires my spirit to sparkle with delight
Happy 44th Birthday (impossible!) to Ravi's daddy, Steven, today! :)
