HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMSY!
For those of you who don’t know, Mumsy is what I lovingly call my mother! It is her birthday in the Philippines right now, so I think she should be able to celebrate it for the extra hours, don’t you? I tried calling her just now, but she was on her way to teach Kindermusik. Maybe another day on the WebCam!
My mom is the best at helping other people celebrate their birthdays. She has planned so many incredible birthdays for me. One of my favorites was when we had a teddy bear scavenger hunt. Mom found tons of bears, big and small, and hid them with clues all around the yard. My little friends and I (Cara, you were probably at that one too!), searched around excitedly to find each bear holding his clue. The end of the hunt was a surprise (I don’t remember what it was, but the journey is half the fun!).
Judging from the pictures on Uncle Keith’s website I imagine my mom helped to plan that fun scarf dance too! Well, my birthday is coming up (hint hint, I love birthdays!) on October 12th. One of my students has a birthday that same day so we will have to think of a way to play games in Bible class, not hard to do. I only wish my mom was here to help celebrate the fun!
For today I will give my mom this lovely virtual cake and balloon and a huge smile for her birthday. Happy birthday, Mumsy! I love you! --Jessica Nell

Dear Jessica,
Thank you so much for the birthday greetings and phone call, and such wonderful memories and reports of goodtimes. I wish so much I could be with you next week and we could do the scarf dance together, and even the Filipino tinikling. I love your blogspot and all your reports. Love, Mums
Thanks, Mumsy! You encouraged me today! The tininkling sounds fabulous!
