This is 32


Tomorrow (Monday) will be my 32nd birthday.

Keith and I went to the Macaroni Grill for a lovely lunch...and to our surprise when we came back out, it was SNOWING!!!



I got on the phone right away to David to see if it was snowing in York too! He was soooooooooooo excited! He's been wishing for snow for weeks now! He just sounded so cute!

I don't have any profound reflections on turning 32. It's a boring number, and the new year got off to a crappy start... so let's just see what I can make out of 2007. I can say that I'm hopeful and looking forward to some good changes.

Holiday Brunch

Sunday was our fancy holiday brunch at Pisces restaurant at the Hyatt, Inner Harbor, Baltimore. It's on the top floor and has a gorgeous view of the harbor! The weather has been beautiful lately!

Here is a zoomed-in view of the harbor from the restaurant...


We were given entrees to choose from, in addition to the wonderful buffet. I chose the seared rock fish and lobster tempura! It was quite delicious and beautifully presented!


Here are the lovely ladies that keep our office running smoothly: from left to right, Wendy, Kari, Teena the Great, and Stephanie. Aren't they pretty??


And then there is Keith and me too...


The owner of the firm I work for is very kind and generous, and it was a fantastic holiday brunch!

Gobble gobble...and let the season begin!

Wow, Thanksgiving came and went in a blink! How does this keep happening?

The festivities got started on Tuesday when David had his special Thanksgiving Feast at school. I went to help out, which made it possible for me to also see their cute little performance. He has such adorable little classmates. They are all so sweet and happy. I think their teacher is to thank for that though. She is really kind and gentle with a great sense of humor. When they do something well, she says, "Kiss your brain!" She's just really a warm person, and David loves her! I am so happy that David's first year of school has been so positive. I have been getting great feedback on his performance both academically and socially, and it warmed my heart on Tuesday when I introduced myself to another mom and she said, "Oh, David! My son talks about him all the time!" (I assume she meant in a good way! LOL!) Seriously though, David is great at making friends, and I am just so happy that he is so happy.

Here is a picture of him up on stage with the other chiefs and pilgrims.



and here is the little cutie that David has a major crush on! He is such a little romancer! She looks more like she should be a California Girl....maybe that's why he likes her so much! He comes home and has something to say about her every day. He even made her a little heart ring out of Floam!


Thursday we had a nice dinner at Aunt Lynn's and just hung out...

Friday we went shopping.
Let the season begin now! Here they are with Santa Claus already!!!


Yep...December is breathing down our necks already! When we drove up after shopping, David squealed with delight. While we were gone, Daddy was busy, and we returned to the wonderful surprise of our house lit up with color. That made me so happy because I just can't describe how excited David and Sam were to see the sparkling lights of our house!



Have a good weekend!
