Elijah turned 6 years old on September 18th. Yeah, 6…it’s craaaaazzzy. His “birthday week” stretched from Sunday, September 6th until Sunday, September 13th. Here are some highlights…
Mr. Freaky Pants the 1st
stained glass
homemade Lego kits
E's first set of wheels (not counting my old trike); courtesy of my parents.
pirates! (dead ones at that)
extra snuggles with his favorite person
wine cork blow dart guns
people & somewhere there's pet rocks
new Legos
musical entertainment
cake, candles & wishes...there might have been some ice cream too!
I mentioned cake, right?
The following picture pretty much summed up the entire experience for Elijah.
WTF guys?
It was a LONG week. We cleaned. We ate. We shopped. We made stuff. We cried. We screamed. We made new friends. We learned a lot. We saw people. We broke things. We fought over toys. We bitched about random occurrences. We loved. We laughed. We got tons of phone calls. We opened gifts from many miles away. We sang (but not “Happy Birthday”). We will do it all over again next year…all while simultaneously hating & loving it!
Many “happy” returns, Elijah.
It’s my birthday. Happy Birthday to me. I’m still a baby; only turning 27. February 1st is my special day.

Elijah Uriel, my Indigo Child, turned five on Thursday, September 18th, 2008 at 2:44pm
E, you rock and may the trail blaze bright in your wake for others to follow!
Your party was, well, it was a party for you and it was your party 
I think the message is clear — you would rather not have a ‘party’, because YOU don’t find it necessary. Point taken and heard loud & clear. I love you Elijah.
Oh, and lots of thanks, kisses & hugs to Courtney, who understands and seems to always be willing to stick around until the end. I love and appreciate you tons
Usually people raise hell when they don’t ‘do anything’ for their birthdays…I am here to tell you that the secret to having a great birthday is to just do that — do nothing. I haven’t done much more than eat twice so far and jack around on the internet and I am happy as pie…although, now that I think about it, pie probably isn’t very happy. I digress, it is cold, wet and gray, but I see dinner and the purchase of books an hour or two away and this makes me smile. So, for your next birthday, try to do as little as humanly possible and see that you don’t feel absolutely relieved. After all, it is YOUR day of birth remembrance; you are not required to entertain others.
Cheers to 26 years and to future years!
