are pretty much the same as birthdays in America. Babies still need changing and noses still need wiping, but the boys wanted to make me our traditional birthday breakfast for dinner (with bacon!) so they enlisted the help of Chef Joshy Flay and made me French Toast, an omelet, and bacon and it was very, very good.
I got some great birthday wishes from friends, some great cards in the mail, and I even got to Skype with my sister Carrie, Patrick, and Jack. So even with a fussy baby, it was a very good day. Thanks everyone!
So this is what 37 feels like, huh?
(just kidding. this picture was taken our first day in Egypt when we all woke up at 4 in the morning during the call to prayer.)
