Life Isn't Measured by the Number of Breaths You Take, but by the Moments that Take Your Breath Away

Happy Birthday to me - again!

Elle showed me how to My wonderful mother in law gave me the best birthday present on my birthday! She taught me how to make her famous gumbo recipe. MMMmmm! It turned out SO yummy! I am so proud to know how to make it for myself here in Austin when I'm missing my Louisiana family and friends.


Elle even stepped in to help us cutting the onions just right. She actually did a really good job, with a butter knife to boot!


The entire day of my birthday I got to take it easy with my kids and my Voisin family. We just hung out at Sarah's house being with each other. Roland and Ellie fancied up Aunt Sandy.



Elle helped her grammy doll up too. Grammy said, "Elle came to help Grammy put on her make up almost every day that she slept over ... It was one of her favorite things to do with Grammy while she stayed in LA this summer :) . xoxoxo"

And she wasn't to be left out. Check out that long luxurious golden hair!
