Sat. morning (my actual birthday) Jamie and the girls served me blueberry pancakes in bed. Jamie makes the BEST blueberry pancakes in the world. They sang to me, gave me hugs and kisses and then left me to eat in peace and watch all the good stuff I have saved on DVR (Grey's, Private Practice, Friday Night Lights and Medium to be exact.) After a few hours of laziness and gluttony, I showered and left for my 12:30 deep tissue massage at a day spa near our house. All I can say is ... WOW. I left there feeling like a limp noodle.
Sat night we met my brother and his family at the local Japanese restaurant. Fun was had by all. I didn't take any pictures because I took video with my new "bad to the bone" video camera Jamie got me for my birthday! The thing is awesome but I'm still figuring it out. I'll post some video as soon as that happens. I have to mention that I have the sweetest sister in law in the world. She might be family but she is also one of my closest friends!
I had a million things to do around the house on Sunday. The yard was soaked from all the rain. It was chilly outside and the girls are just getting over colds. I get things done at rapid pace with the girls out of the house. My ever-so-thoughtful husband had the brilliant idea to set his camping tent up on the back deck. They played in the tent and eat lunch in the tent with Jamie for 4 hours. This was the perfect idea!!!!!
In the last picture Jamie is playing Chubby Bunny (with grapes) with the girls. You know the game where you see how many of a certain thing you can fit in your mouth????? I know, not the smartest thing to play with 2 year olds but funny nonetheless.

During my relaxing weekend I was able to reflect on my life a bit and I came to the conclusion that I am exactly where I wanted to be in life at 35. And for that, I am eternally grateful. I am married to the love of my life and my best friend. I have two healthy children. I am surrounded by a loving extended family. I love my job and the flexibility it allows for me to be with my family. Just about every morning when I wake up (as long as the sun is up:), a little part of me feels like it is Christmas morning. When I ask myself "what more could I ask for" the answer is simple ... nothing. I have everything I need in life and that makes me the luckiest person I know.
