Happy Birthday Mom! I can't think of anyone more deserving of a wonderful day and a wonderful year. Mom is always available to help whenever anyone of her kids especially needs it, even if she has to drop everything to provide the requested aid. It seems like she's always proof reading a paper, giving a pep talk, helping someone move or get settled in somewhere or thinking of ways to strengthen our family. What would we do without her? I know we'd all be a very sorry lot indeed. Happy Birthday Mom! We love you sooo much-

Happy Birthday Mom! I'm surprised your favorite food is greek yogurt honey flavor, because I have not seen it in the house before.
Happy Birthday, hope its a great day! Melissa is also crazy for the honey flavored greek yogurt from Trader Joe's. You gals must be related or something!
Happy Birthday, hon. Thanks for all you do for our family in your many roles. I hope we can X country ski in Patagonia someday together.
I love you mucho!
Speaking of hiking, John is on the West Coast trail this week. He wrote a note on the back of an envelope and asked me to post it on the blog:
"MOMMA
Thanks for being the greatest mom ever! I appreciate your ability to always sacrifice and your willingness to help me. I hope you have a great b'day.
Love, Beej"
Happy Birthday! Hey, I kinda want to learn French too - maybe we could help each other out. Have a great day.
So now we know the true origins about how the "Schneiders don't whine and don't complain" slogan came about!! Although maybe some of us figured it out earlier on anyhow.
Well hope you have a great day tomorrow. Thanks for being such a great mom and for all of your generous help with the boys over the past year.
Amen that you are a natural at planning all things festive. Your advice has really helped in the making of 'Anansi and the Moss Covered Stone' that I am helping put on right now at the Korean Summer School. Thanks for putting your full weight into continuing to 'bring us up!' You help in more ways than you know and I love you to pieces! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
Happy Birthday Mom!!! You're the best. I think it's great that you have so many awesome plans this year, like going to China and doing another roadtrip with Dad. I also think it's awesome that you even liked watching super boring cross country meets and races because it was always a great support to have you there! Love you tons and have a marvelous day!
THANKS for all the birthday wishes!
Yes, Greek yogurt is a newfound favorite, and I guess you probably won't ever see it in the frig anyways because its doesn't stay around for very long :)
And one other thing, X country meets were anything but boring....
Love all you guys!!
Be sure to enjoy another year of fun and exciting travels, happy birthday!
