I had a birthday and instead of feeling old, I felt young. I’ve packed a lot of life into the last few years. Those I associate with are almost always older than me. I never though I would be graduated from college, starting my own business, with a husband and kid at this time in my life. I thought I’d be in grad school…but grad school right now if for my husband not me. (I do want to go back someday).

For my birthday my husband (and myself) got me a bike seat for Peter. I love being able to go bike riding again. We are able to do more too when Joe’s out with the car. He also arranged a wonderful night of all you can eat sushi–oh so delicious. Favorite food ever. There’s just nothing like putting that first bite of beauty in your mouth. Expensive though. We spent a little under fifty dollars for all-you-can-eat, and I thought it was a way good deal.

Peter just went to the doctors, and at nine months he’s over 26 lbs and 32 inches tall. Right above everyone else on the growth chart. So cute and happy. He’s started crawling now. I posted a video on facebook of him.

And I finished my curtains! Finally. Here’s how they look. I’m not a sewer, so please do not analyze my seams.

Joe and I went hiking up Maple Canyon, same place I went with Clarissa but different fork. No idea where the trail led–someone asked us if we went to the top, so I’m asumming some mountain. Great, shady trail, with lots of benches too. Nothing better than hiking with my two boys.
