Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

Yohan celebrated his 5th Birthday last Friday (July 18). I couldn’t believe my little boy has grown so fast. Here are my 5 Birthday Wishes for my son…

1. happiness
2. best of health
3. good grades
4. wonderful friends
5. fun, fun, fun

Tonight we’re having a small birthday celebration for Yohan. He turned 5 yesterday and he had a birthday celebration in school. Tonight we’re having another celebration at home for the family. Yohan is very excited to see his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Hubby is currently busy preparing food for the guests. He is making BBQ ribs, fresh green salad and crispy fried chicken. For dessert, he will make sponge cake topped with fresh fruits and ice-cream. Yaya made my favorite spaghetti.

I have gained considerable weight over the past few months and after tonight, I’m sure I will gain more. I might be needing the help of some weight loss pills to help me lose those extra pounds.

of God; so precious that it’s

Yesterday was Yohan’s birthday. He turned five years old. It’s really amazing how much time have passed. I feel blessed for all the wonderful years I’ve spent with him. I long to witness more of his milestones in life. I wish him best of health and a wonderful future.

My hubby and son surprised me with a dozen roses yesterday. It was a sweet gesture that I really appreciated. I’m thankful to everyone who greeted me on my special day.
