that 7 years ago right about this time of night I was lying in a hospital bed in Fairfax. That's right...Sierra turns 7 tomorrow! It seems so long ago that I can hardly remember some things, but I definitely remember everything about that night - the most incredible experience of my life! I think the funniest thing about her birth had to be when the doctor called her by the wrong name when she was born... "Sienna" instead of "Sierra." Sierra still mentions occasionally that she wishes her name was Sienna and/or that she wants a little sister named Sienna. I'm actually scared to have another one now because Sierra has been so perfect and wonderful I can't imagine doing any better the second time around.

She's looking forward to her birthday party this year...she wanted a bowling party, so that's what we're doing. It should be a lot of fun - the last time we went bowling she could finally hold the ball with three fingers and release it properly, so no more antics with the metal ramp thingy we used to let her use. I think we'll probably use the bumpers for her party because I don't want any of the kids to get frustrated...at this age they're not all strong enough to get the ball all the way to the end of the lane so the zigzag approach with the bumpers usually gets them a strike or two.

Well, I have got to get to bed - i had a horrible day at work today and I need to get up early so I can go in for more abuse tomorrow. I can't wait until summer vacation...
