My Mom Went Into Labor on Labor Day

Thanks Mom for having me on a holiday and thanks Dad for coming home from your big hunt to welcome me to the world. I know that was a huge sacrifice!
The Big 2-8 ended up being a wonderful, sunny day! Not only did I get birthday waffles and the Mamma Mia soundtrack but due to the holiday everyone had the day off of work! We spent the day at the Carmel Valley pool with some great friends. Lily kept saying she wanted to be in the 'Lympics' while jumping off the diving board. I even got the courage to test my ol' diving skills. Daisy loved splashing and licking the water off of her hands. We made sandwiches and ate cupcakes (made by yours truly, Sean did frost a few) and then I held my cupcakes and made everyone sing to me. Come on, someone had to take charge. :)
The fun didn't end there. We all went to Chili's that night and had all the guys sit at one table with the kids while the ladies got their own booth. It was so great to have an uninterrupted conversation. Props to Sean and the other daddy's for watching the kiddos so that could happen. I even got my free chocolate milkshake and the birthday song from the whole Chili's staff. Oh, and I shared the white chocolate lava cake with Sarah...WOW...soooo yummy! Highly recommend it! Thanks to my lovely ladies Steph, Sarah, Karey, and Janine for a rockin' birthday dinner and a rockin' day over all!

Lily's 'Lympic' skills.

I'm so glad that you got to enjoy your birthday. It looks like you had a lot of fun and had good friends to share it with (they make all the difference when your family is far away). I am really hoping that you got our present (unimaginative as it was).

Happy Birthday!

I feel so awful that I am so late on the draw... Happy Birthday on the 1st. Channa and I talked about it that day and I am just a slacker so I'm happy to hear it was a good one! I miss the fondue Sean made for it last year. :)
