It's my birthday week....

technically, my birthDAY is over, but it is still my birthday week!:)

I had the great pleasure of meeting Courtney and her family yesterday when I made a run to the airport north of us. I am hoping that we have other fun times together while we live in New York. The kids had so much fun swimming with her kids, and are already talking about when we can see them again.

I listened to my 2 nieces sing Happy Birthday, even if Cora did want to sing to Aunt Ra! :)

I got cards from both of my kiddos and a little gift from Chloe. Ian's card was one of those "keeper" kind. The message was:

Dear mom

I can't believe you are turning 34. You are old but you are a cool mom and I mean it. I hope you have a good day. And you make good roles. And think you for helping me with math. You rule. Love, Ian


I talked to my grandparents in Texas, my mom (twice), my dad, my sister, my sister in law and nieces, my brother, and I had a message from Troy's mom when I got home....just one of the perks of birthdays.

The kids and I saw a few fireworks out their bedroom window last night, and then fell asleep on the couch watching the Macy's New York fireworks on TV.

And yes, as my mom said....Next year in Portland...if I would have blown out candles, that would have definitely been my wish!
