Birthday

Today was wonderful. I spent all day playing with the boys, laying on the couch and smocking. As much as I can't wait to move, I couldn't stand the idea of packing on my birthday. lol Andy had told me yesterday that he was planning something and that I was to get rid of the boys for a couple of hours. Some of our friends took them and had a blast playing with Caleb and getting Stephen to giggle at them. Andy walked in the door carrying a single red rose and a CD I really wanted and took me to dinner. It was so nice just having some time with my husband. We were able to talk and hold hands without worrying about Caleb trying to fall out of the high chair, or Stephen deciding he was bored and fussing. (They aren't normally bad, just nice to be alone for once. :) He also sent me the meaning of roses while he was at work and I thought they were interesting. Hope you like them too. :D
Red
Red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance, and a time-honored way to say "I love you." The red rose has long symbolized beauty and perfection. A bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to express your deep feelings for someone special.

Pink
As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness. Pink rose bouquets often impart a gentler meaning than their red counterparts.

Yellow
The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.

White
White roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. The white rose is also a symbol of honor and reverence, and white rose arrangements are often used as an expression of remembrance.

Orange
With their blazing energy, orange roses are the embodiment of desire and enthusiasm. Orange roses often symbolize passion and excitement and are an expression of fervent romance. A bouquet of orange roses will send a meaningful message.

Lavender
The unique beauty of the lavender rose has captured many hearts and imaginations. With their fantastical appearance, lavender roses are a perfect symbol of enchantment. The lavender rose is also traditionally used to express feelings of love at first sight.
