Ahoy!

I'll admit, we get excited about Halloween around here. This pumpkin design is perfect for our pirate-loving boys. I just love seeing life through their little imaginative eyes. They had the most fun changing the facial pieces around, and then making their own silly faces. They get excited about seemingly simple things, but to them life holds so much wonderment. It's good to be back home. These guys are my pride and joy.

Birthday Fun

Wow, did I ever feel loved on my birthday! I celebrated with my boys......yummy chocolate cake and birthday song. The next night I was treated to dessert with my mom and sis. Then came my big birthday surprise from my husband....a girls weekend in LA with my good friend from college. I was glad to also visit some extended family while in CA. I boarded the plane Wednesday evening and returned 4 days later a much more relaxed and refreshed mom & wife. Thank you honey for this incredible gift! (And thanks to Liz for showing me a great time.) I truly felt overwhelmed and grateful.

And no, I didn't accidently insert a picture from last winter.....this is the first time I recall getting snowed on on my birthday. Gotta love Minnesota! The trip to 85 degree weather couldn't have come at a better time.
