answer : they both fly :)
another year older but not necessarily wiser ;) ... this year my birthday was spent quietly at home with my 2 girls, altho i did manage to steal about 2 hours away from home and spent the time with Llara having kentucky fried chicken, ice cream and browsing thru magazines at borders. quality mommy-Llara time :)
didn't know when Llara managed to sneak up to my desk and took some of my stuff there, but she made this for me :)

and this ...
Mommy: Wow!! thank you! it's very pretty!
Llara: You see... i'm an artist too! just like you
Mommy: You certainly are!
Llara: I know you like rusty stuff ... (thinks for a bit) and shiny stuff ... so i made all this shiny stuff for you! (pointing at everything on the cover and the orange jewel)
Mommy: So where's the rusty bit?
Llara: (pointing at some obscure bit on the little star stickers) there!
of course, there are no rusty bits to be seen ... in fact she's the one who likes shiny things :) but my heart melted all the same ... rusty or shiny :) moments like these are enough to last me a lifetime :) perhaps next year we would be able to celebrate a bit more when Maia is older and stronger ... and when Jason don't have to work out of town. but today was all about mommy and Llara.
