Mike's Birthday

We celebrated Mike's 38th birthday on the 10th. We kept it all pretty low-key (as he requested, given his crazy travel lately) and had a nice family celebration. The two of us got a sitter on Saturday morning and worked out and then went to brunch. It was awesome - probably my favorite kind of date. That afternoon we had cake and opened presents. I had a special triathlon cake made for him. :) The next day a neighborhood family came over for a cookout and then the husband and Mike went for a bike ride together. All-in-all, a perfect, relaxed celebration!



Thought it would be fun to include a few pics of Mike when he was around the ages of our boys now.

I love old pictures and memories. Mike's mom gave us a big box of his stuff about a year ago. It was full of report cards, pictures, artwork, etc.. One of these days I'll scan them all and put them in a nice album for him/the kids - maybe even make a little video montage of them. Not holding my breath on the timing, but its definitely on "the list". :)
