Birthday Party

We had Xander’s birthday party today. We took him and his classmates (and Mira) to BeniHana for a nice lunch. The kids all seemed to have a great time. It was fun getting to watch Xander and his friends interact with each other. Before bed, Xander said that this was the best day he’d ever had. He says that from time to time about a given day, and what I’ve learned to take it to mean is that he had a really great day. That’s what we were hoping for, so it make Kate and I quite happy as well.

Has It Been 8 Years Already?

Xander turned 8 years old today. We went to his school this morning for his walk around the sun, which was as much an event as it always has been. Xander had a great time and they even included Mira’s class, so she could see it too. Once we picked him up from school we took him out for dinner. After that we came home and he got to open his presents. He was very happy with his gifts and the wonderful cards his class had made him.

It’s hard to fathom that 8 years have passed already. It’s a reminder to us as parents to treasure every day that we have with out children, because they won’t be at home forever.

Birthday!

I turned 35 years old yesterday. I had a great day. I got to sleep in late. Then I came downstairs and the kids were super excited that it was my birthday. We opened presents and I got to enjoy all the stuff that they and others had picked out for me. Then I got to spend most of the day playing video games. We had Pei Wei for lunch, which I love, and Kate even went out to pick it up for me, so I got to do another of my favorite activities, not leaving the house. Kate had even picked me up a carrot cake for my birthday cake.

It was a wonderful day spent with my family, which is another of my favorite things to do. I’m another year older and I can’t think of a better way to have spent the day.
