Goodnight

Her day ended trying to sneak her bag of ring pops, Connor gifted her, into bed. The crackling of the bag she was trying to cuddle gave her away.

Maddie came into our life much sooner than we had planned, and I'm eternally grateful that breast feeding + birth control couldn't stop her from coming to this family when she was supposed to. I love her genuine laugh + the way she lays her head on my shoulder and tucks her hands into her body as she melts in my arms. She's my baby girl, and she's growing up.

Just got back from the Treehouse in Chestnut Hill. We've been wanting to hit this place up for some time since your kids can play while you eat in peace. Amazing how nice that can be. Thanks to the friends who could make it out to celebrate with us!

Maddie turns 2 today and we are live with the events of her day. She just opened a present from Hallee, a bath time Ariel doll, before their bath.

Megan's 27

There are probably studies that have been done that show not a single person in the south eastern region of Pennsylvania has remembered their 27th birthday, even the day after. With this birthday being so insignificant it didn't matter that i would be at school all day, and taking Megan out to dinner on Saturday was good enough. But I love Megan and she is the most significant thing in my life. So any day that celebrates her birth is a big deal and classes need to be blown off. The girls and I let Megan sleep in until 8:30--that's right 8:30--while we decorated the house with some balloons and made blueberry pancakes and a smoothie.
After the breakfast in bed we got our work out on, and we'd need it for what lied ahead. Birthday lunch was at BBP and where some of the most delicious things imaginable were stuffed into our bocas.

After the burgers put us into a hibernation we woke up to be fed some more yummy food brought over by a friend. To cap the evening off we went bowling, and let Megan win because I'm thoughtful like that, and then got some DQ on the way home. I hope that Megan has the best 27th year ever, she deserves it.
