Happy Birthday to Me!

Guess who's 30 again? Wow, to put it down for everyone to see makes me seem even older. I had the best birthday! While I went shopping all by myself (boring? No way!) and went out to lunch (I got to read my library book while I ate!). While I was out, Jay and the boys made a birthday cake. First they had to go to the store and I had all of the car seats, double stroller, and baby carrier in the car so Jay walked to and back to the store carrying Charlie and letting Jayson and Aidan walk. I don't know how he did it but I feel confident that he won't want to do it again. The important thing is that everyone survived. Hmm. My standards as a mother have really reached an all-time low. Maybe that's good...so I'll be pleasantly surprised when things go even better than just "everyone survived".

Over the weekend we had Crystal, Tina, and cute baby Lily with us. We had so much fun! The boys were gentle and sweet to Lily. It was glorious having a little girl in our house! Since they were only here for a couple of days, we stayed up way too late and squeezed in as much as we could. We went to National Harbor and drove to the Amish Market for lunch. After a fun day with the kids Auntie Crystal (Jayson's FAVORITE auntie...I don't know how many times he told her that over the weekend!) stayed home while the other adults went out for a late dinner. Sometime that night we realized that poor Charlie had more than just a little cold so Jay took him to the ER and we found out that he has RSV! Poor little guy! Needless to say, we cancelled our plans to go to Baltimore for the day. Tina and Lily flew out later that day and we were sad to see everyone go. It was so nice to see them though, and it's good to have Crystal back from New Zealand.
