Lily's 1st taste of rice cereal

...let's just say... it wasn't a hit...

happy birthday to me!

My Mom & John sent these beautiful sunflowers! I had a great day! Justin and I got sushi for lunch, Anne watched Gabe and Luke so I could run some errands alone with Lily. Then we ate dinner over there. I am a lucky girl surrounded by so much love! 31's not so bad :)

Last week was Isaiah's Spring Break, although they had to go monday and tuesday as make-up snow days. They were also supposed to have Easter monday off as well, but that became another makeup day. Justin was given the day off because they have been working lots of overtime on some big installations, it was a prefect time to take a breather. Justin and I decided Sunday night that we would keep Isaiah out of school and make a fun day of playing hooky. The weather was incredible! Lots of sunshine, a nice breeze. We did the paddle boats (which we will not do again... instead, we'll try the rowboats, canoes or kayaks). We even did a little fishing - didn't catch anything but saw lots of fish that just wouldn't bite. It really was the perfect family day - so nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of "real life" (laundry, dishes, customers, bills...) and just enjoy each other. Thank you God for the gift of this special day :)
