happy birthday to my scott

Yesterday was Scott's birthday! He requested a pie for his birthday instead of cake. I know how to make pie, but it really isn't my speciality. So in light of that, I think yesterday's pie turned out pretty great (it was a berry pie, with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries); the crust was even flaky.

I am so incredibly grateful to have Scott. I was thinking about it this morning, and except at night when he is half asleep, he is the most selfless man I know (he has a hard time waking up at 2 am and being coherent - so basically I can count on him not helping with the baby at night; which is okay, except on the weekends when I could really use a little sleep). He would do anything for me or the kids. I don't think he realizes just how grateful I am that he goes to a job everyday that he doesn't love and has sacrificed so many of his own dreams so that our family can live a comfortable life. He is such a fun and kind person and we LOVE him so very much! Happy Birthday Scott (hopefully your present will come today in the mail...).
