Sun flowers and birth stories

Adam bought us all flowers for our anniversary and these orange sunflowers lasted the longest. I thought they had the most beautiful pedals and I really wanted to do something creative with them--but there just wasn't time. So I handed them over to the kids to play with on the back deck and there was joy and creativity out there for at least 30 minutes.
Every day that I can I want to link over to the NieNie Dialogues. Today I have her beautiful post about her home birth experience on my mind. Read it here. Even though I never got to the point it hurt so bad I thought I would die, I felt her and I had a similar experience with the birth of our sons. Yet, she describes it much better.
