I'm old

Or at least older.

It was my birthday yesterday. The day started like any other day with Eve calling from her crib that she was awake at the oh-so-early hour of 6:30. At 6:32 the phone rang bringing my first birthday well wishes. All of my extended family lives in other states. So we try to remember to call one another to sing to the birthday person. This day was my day and I loved to be remembered and to hear that well known tune. It's silly and simple but I really do feel loved, so many calls and messages.

Gordon was sweet and got a babysitter to take me out on a real date for my birthday. I'm excited because we haven't been able to do too much with him studying so much for his exam. So we dropped off the kids and drove to a nice resturant up in Scottsdale. It was just so nice to have a meal with just the two of us. Adult conversation is sometimes lacking when there's a five-year-old and a one-year-old clammering for attention constantly.

After dinner we went back to our neighbor's home to celebrate with the kids and friends, we had more singing, cake and ice cream.

I don't know if 26 is that much different than 25, but I do feel that I had a great birthday, because of my family.
