This week Jay celebrated his 37th birthday. Lucas loves birthdays, probably because he continuously says, "happy, happy, happy," to the person we're celebrating and he gets to blow out candles that he confidently knows how to do ever since turning 2. We light, and re-light, candles so he can have the satisfaction of watching the flame go out every time he blows.
I was a little nervous about Jay's mood on Saturday considering I scheduled him for a day of yard work with my dad. Was that mean? I kept reassuring him that he was going to feel so good about the progress and promised him a nice night out after a longs day's work. Maybe there were little grumblings here and there, but Jay did great, and so did my dad, and our yard looks ready for spring. They cut a few branches, planted a bush or two, dug up some overgrown plants, busted out the lawn mower, weed whipper, and leaf blower, and lay some rock around our shed. Being new homeowners, this is progress! To ensure he had some of his greatest pleasures on the weekend of his birthday, we packed Lucas up and had muffins at Turtle Bread Co. and on Sunday morning, enjoyed a family morning out to Starbucks(maybe the highlight of the weekend...sad, but true...we are addicts!) So unfortunately, we didn't take pictures of the yard to post, but here are some cute ones...
