It wasn't the 1st birthday I had imagined for her, but in the end it was a sweet day enjoying watching her perfect her walking skills and learn to hold a purse.
Thursday morning began at 1:42AM with our first family stomach bug. Levi started it and 30 minutes later Mary Kathryn followed. They alternated every 30 min for 4 hours.
Mary Kathryn was in the bathtub when I said, "Happy Birthday, sweet girl." She just smiled liked she felt fine and nothing was wrong.
As I climbed the stairs to change bed sheets for the 5th time I regained strength knowing that His mercies are new every morning. There was hope that as soon as the sun rises it would all seem better.
With the morning did come a beautiful breeze we enjoyed while playing in the sandbox.
Levi was very concerned all day about not having cake for Mary Kathryn's party. His definition of a party IS eating cake. :) I told him we would make her a cake when everyone was better.
I was very concerned about having to cancel her party on Saturday if we weren't better. Thankful everyone's appetite returned by Thursday evening.
