happy birthday, char

For the last few years, Char and my dad have been in Mexico for her birthday. But this year they came back a little early, so I insisted we celebrate! We also insisted she wear the birthday hat and suffer like the rest of us do.

(Also, I can pretty much say that it was Chris who switched her age around!)

bird exploration

Rocket & Rudy love to play in our cupboard. They climb over and into the top shelf, where the bowls are. They often disappear into the metal bowl.

happy anniversary to us

Chris and I had the most amazing dinner at Peppino's Italian Restaurant for our anniversary. Wine, mozzarella, steaks, and some crazy limon chocolate something... it was a great night!

ah, lazy days...

so Daulton is on Spring Break this week. Chris had at least three days off work to spend with him, and he actually accompanied Chris to work the other day as well.

I am yo-yoing between irritation and amusement each time I encourage Daulton to GO OUTSIDE AND GET FRESH AIR and he responds, "Penny, I'm on break...I need to relax..."

So today I'm just sitting at work wishing I was home bumming with them (though Chris would probably tell you he usually has a lot to do on his days off). I don't have a picture to share because they're having all the fun without me... *sniffle* *sniffle*
