A neighbor's woodpile. I think stacked wood is pretty.
Fresh eggs.
Sean made me a frittata. Sean makes delicious frittatas!
My kids love to go to the natural food store and smell all the soaps to buy for me. This works out wonderfully since I love receiving them.
Annaliese wrapped this package. Isn't it great?
Goats milk soap. Wonderful.I shall be very sweet and clean.
An angel Andrew Douglas drew for me. And a sword. Because he draws nothing without swords. Swords are vital. It's very apocalyptic don't you think?
Late that night we went for a walk with my Dad and stepmom, my younger sister and her fiance, and kiddos. My Mom held down the fort with Chase.
I want something "big and chocolate" was my request. Sean made me this chocolate tart from Cooks Illustrated.
I think I'll go have another piece right now.
Katie and Josh. Pretty soon to be newlyweds.
Andrew serenaded me first thing in the morning. He is the best serenader I know of.
Ella Catherine greeted me with some of her faces. A little known fact is that Jim Carey has nothing on this kid. She could out-face him any day. And she has no idea who Jim Carey is, which I like.
I tell this kiddo all the time to stop being so cute. He doesn't listen.
Aiden played with my camera. He is a super four year old photographer.
A fiddle. I really, really have wanted to learn how to play the fiddle. Sean bought me a student one. I love it. I love that you-tube has lessons on fiddle playing. I am sorry for the rest of the ears in the house, but I love my fiddle. I can play "Bile them cabbage down" which beats learning how to play "Mary had a Little Lamb", right?
I am thirty.
I love being thirty. I was a little intimidated by it but I love it, The last decade of my life has been filled with incredible experiences and I know the next will too. Thank you for all the birthday greetings. Sean sat down at the breakfast table and simply said, "I hijacked your blog." He didn't mention all the nice things he said which I now have to live up to.
He's too sweet.
