April 16 {Day 361}

Ever since I was little I was always excited to get the mail. Not sure why, I rarely received anything in the mail as a child, but it was super exciting if I did. Even now, Sean never gets the mail, since he knows it is something I like to do. More than not, the most interesting things in the mailbox are the grocery flyers or a random catalog mixed in with the never-ending bills. But every so often you get a little gem. I received a card, out of the blue, the other day from a dear friend and have been smiling about it ever since. It seriously made me teary just reading it. I often think about when I used to sit down and write letters to friends and family, and I miss that. I am putting that on my list of things to do as I enter this 38th year of life.

P.S. – Thank You (you know who you are).

April 15 {Day 360}

We celebrated a friend turning the big 4-0. She was even a good sport and played a game we had called “Which is older? Joanne or (U2/Cabbage Patch Dolls/etc…)”. Mix that with some good friends, tasty food and champagne drinks, and it was a great way to spend a Friday.

April 7 {Day 352}

Isn’t she just the cutest thing?

April 5 {Day 350}

The Boys had an amazing time at The Children’s Discovery Museum. We spent about 4 hours there– they played in the pretend diner, mini hockey rink, basketball court, news station, and I don’t even think we made it through half of the museum. Robert can’t stop talking about it. I am sure we will be heading back there soon.

March 31 {Day 345}

I enjoyed a Cold Stone treat with a friend on the eve of starting my P90x workouts. It was so tasty!

March 26 {Day 340}

My friend Caryn cut Jill’s hair today and I documented it for her. Caryn is not a hairdresser, just a friend trying to help another friend out. It made for some wonderfully silly moments and some good laughs. Most of all, it was a great day spent with friends. For more photos, check out my other blog post.

March 19 {Day 333}

Lunch with Emmy. Perfect start to my 5 day getaway.

March 15 {Day 329}

Good friends (photo was taken with my “hold the camera out in front of us and hope we are both in the frame” technique).

March 14 {Day 328}

Today was kind of a blah Monday. We had to go to the doctor for Ben, Robert’s asthma was acting up and followed that up by spending a bunch of time on the phone trying to make appointments for future doctors visits. So, when this long day was finally ending, I didn’t know if I was still up for the task of making and decorating a cake for one of  Robert’s friends. Well, I am so glad I did it. It was the most fun I had all day. Not only did I get to be creative, but I got to be super girly, too. In fact, I think I went a little overboard with the frilly, princess, girly girl decorating. But, it was so much fun!

March 6 {Day 320}

We gave our friend’s son a Transformer toy for his birthday. In the course of about 4 hours, with about 5 different adults trying to figure it out, we still didn’t get it put together right. I tried twice and didn’t even come close. Sean didn’t do well either. It was quite entertaining watching everyone try though!
