It all started two short years ago when our daughter decided to make her first appearance in the world 5 weeks before expected. That meant she would forever celebrate her birthday 4 days before my husband. Ahem, forever trump my husband’s birthday.

Two years ago, we celebrated Mike’s birthday in the NICU. Last year, we celebrated Mike’s birthday relaxing, exhausted from Sydney’s over-the-top traditional Korean birthday and second birthday party with friends.

This year, we did a family-only birthday for Sydney, simple, easier. But illness, snow, and aching muscles postponed Mike’s festivities. Honey, I promise we will pick up your birthday present from Paint Your Own Pottery, go to Chaps Pit Beef in Baltimore for sandwiches, and eat yummy home-made chocolate birthday cake. Though it maybe in April…we are expecting 12″-18″ of snow tonight on top of the 26″ we just got. Yikes!

Until then, gluten-free vanilla cupcakes with candles, happy birthday honey! We love you!
