I couldn't have asked for a better day. The party was a huge success! There were over 30 adult people there, and with the amount of kids we had (about 15 kids and 3 babies) I was expecting some "issues," but it was perfect! Everyone mixed well, there was a lot of laughter, and a LOT of food. The kids were all running around together and playing so nicely... My heart was so full of happiness that I almost cried a few times.

The day was a turning point in a lot of ways for me. I feel so centered, and I have a firm grasp on my own happiness. I realized I was giving way too much power to external elements and allowing them to dictate my inner self. The outpouring of love for me and my family was so amazing that I feel truly whole again.

Ian had a fantastic time just as he does every year and Roo, although not 100%, was loved on so much that she obviously had a great time too. They are both very lucky children, just as we are very lucky parents.
