As transcribed by their father, here are my children’s birthday wishes for me:
“I love Mom. Daddy and Laurel and Kelsey got you a present — it’s a red car with no roof!” -Kelsey age 4.75
“Balloons! Time for her birthday, too! It’s your birthday. No, it’s balloon’s birthday. I made a cake for him. Would you like some cake?” -Laurel, age 2.99 (her birthday is Monday)
