Birthday Month

Our posting has become sporadic, mainly due to my lack of energy these days. That doesn’t mean we don’t have anything going on!

Last Tuesday my parents took k to the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. It was “seniors day” so they got in free. Baba bought k a turtle stuffed animal, and now it is the only animal that k will allow in her crib at night.

September is birthday month in our household since both D and I have September birthdays. D turned 32 on Friday. We went to Red Robin to redeem his free hamburger (just sign up for their e-club!) I told the waitress it was D’s birthday so D was serenaded with a birthday song and received a sundae and balloons. Somehow, having k with us made celebrating D’s birthday at Red Robin acceptable.

Saturday we went to a pirate-themed party for a three-year old. When we arrived she was wearing a pirate shirt, but by the time the party actually started, she had changed into a princess shirt–haha.

That night we had a joint family birthday celebration for D and me with my family. D received a heart rate monitor watch that he was very excited about. I received some sewing/cooking supplies…now I just need to get the energy to use them! k was excited to be able to spend time with her aunts and uncle. I think she likes having “new”, but familiar people to play with.

k enjoyed her corn.
