Happy Birthday to Me

The Big 3-0.

Not sure how I feel about it. Not too bad I don't think. I mean, I am married and have 2 beautiful daughters and a fairly decent career so it's not like I feel like I should be at a different place in my life at this point. I think I more so would like to be more organized, more better able to take care of a household, more...adult like. I still feel like I am in my early 20s. That's a problem. But, I digress.

Jason and Madie went shopping on Saturday and Jason asked Madie what she would like to get me for my birthday. She thought that I would most definitely like a yo-yo. I am the proud owner of a bright and shiny purple yo-yo. And it could very well be my favorite birthday present EVER.  Jason out did himself as well. He got me a ring with a big peridot (my birth stone), flanked by pink tourmaline and diamond chips. It is so pretty, and I can't wait to get it sized so that I can wear it.

We had a super busy weekend, but we got to spend the whole thing with both the girls and they were both super well behaved given the amount of events going on.  We had an engagement party on Saturday, followed by a wedding, which was the highlight for Madie. She knows that where there is a wedding, there is music and a dance floor. On the way there she chanted "Party Time! Party Time!". She may be our kid after all...

She danced for about 4 hours straight and was the belle of the dance floor. People kept coming up to me and telling me how cute she was.  She did the chicken dance, hokey pokey, and YMCA like a pro, not to mention every other song that played. Speaking of dance, we are going to an open house at a studio by our house tonight. Hopefully we like it so that I can get her signed up for fall.  I want to get her into swimming too, since she goes underwater, not to mention that I don't have to go in the pool with her any longer for the next classes! Yay! I want to sign her up for ice skating too, but I will wait until swimming is done. I am trying not to be one of those parents, but she really loves so many things, and I don't want her to miss out.  When she tires of something, like she did with gymnastics, I am totally fine with it and we try something else.

Audrey is doing good. We all caught a bit of Jason's cold/virus, so she is coughing and sneezing, poor thing. Otherwise she is a good baby, still sleeping from about 7:30 or 8pm until a bottle at 4am and then back to sleep until about 6:30. Which is awesome. No complaints here! She does her baby coos and smiles a lot. Just as quickly, she will throw a huge tantrum. Where Madie was a super go with the flow baby from what I remember, Audrey is quite a the little drama queen. It will be fun to see if that personality sticks!
