Another One Down

Well, today is another birthday down.  Thanks to many who mentioned it on Facebook.  It's not been a bad day.  Emily and I went to dinner on the Grand Place in Mons last night.  Today was a long run in marathon prep with a friend.  Afterwards, I squatted down to help Isaac tie his shoes.  I stayed down until Emily helped me stand back up.  I ordered my Garmin Forerunner watch (birthday gift), and currently a huge pot of jambalaya is on the stove simmering.  Overall, very good day.

We also gave Claire her first taste of baby food at lunch today.  She liked the sqaush enough that she would get excited when we put a spoon full in her mouth, she'd start to laugh and spit it back out.  She would end up eating the same spoon full of squash three times.

Isaac feels that he's been patient enough waiting for me to play "letters" with him, so I'll close for the time being.

Just laughed visualizing Claire eating her squash. I am glad you had a good day and sounds like Emily did well with her present!!!Isaac is so funny about those letter games, and he is really a smart little boy. Love to each of you.

Maybe you won't have to squat down to tie your shoes during the actual marathon!

Pretty soon, you won't be able to get the spoon to Claire's mouth quick enough!

Maybe Isaac will write and mail me a "letter"!

Love ya lots! Momma
