This is my present from Amy.
It’s her and Isaac, outside throwing a ball, while ducks fly overhead.
It is absolutely the best birthday card I’ve ever gotten.
I’m twenty three today and feeling good about the whole thing. I think I might have finally caught up to my mental age (a screamy baby and no sleep, like ever, makes you feel much older than seventeen) and I think twenty three suits me.
Amy also did Nathan a drawing.
On his back.
When he refused to wake up.
It’s a parrot. You can see it’s beak to the right and the eye at the top (including a pupil). And then it’s “all curled up” according to Amy. Made me laugh anyway.
And, I tried to take a photo of myself, for a record of how I looked at twenty three. But the camera wouldn’t play nicely, so this is the best you get:
I didn’t realise how weird my hands looked until I checked the photo out on the computer. But you know what? That’s actually a pretty accurate representation of me lately.

Happy Birthday!! I remember being 23, I thought I was so old and knew everything. Hah!
Cards made by the kids are the very best kind.
Happy Birthday, from another November girl (4 days and 12 years earlier though) I can’t wait to get presents like those from my twins! I like the way the flowers grow out of a flowerbed and not just grass!
Happy Birthday sweetheart! MWAH xxxxx

Beautiful card!! Lucky you being just 23. I keep thinking I’m 23 then I realise I need to add ten to that!!!
Happy belated birthday Veronica. Gee, I can’t even remember being 23! Perhaps if I had been blogging I would remember or at least got back and look! Just like you’ll be able to when you get as old as me
