Happy Birthday to Me!

I celebrated my birthday this week. It didn't go quite how I wanted it to – John had to close on my actual birthday and my department basically forgot about it. But, we made up for it with a celebration Saturday. Here are our pictures for this week.

It almost always rains on my birthday. I know it's still the day before, but I was watching the clouds rolling in as I was coming home from work. It ended up raining after midnight, which would technically be on my birthday. :)

Happy birthday to me! I left work early today so I could pick up Mara and meet John for his "lunch." We went to Chick-Fil-A (I think it's starting to become a birthday tradition), and I opened my presents there. John got me the 1TB external hard drive I've been wanting, and Mara gave me a DS game. It was nice to spend some time with my family even if John had to go back to work in less than an hour.

Last year, we cashed in some of our Disney Movie Reward points to get Mara a Princess tent and blanket. Mara loves the tent, and we finally got it out for the first time this year. The cats love it also.

Lani graduated from preschool today. It's hard to believe that she'll be starting kindergarten in less than three months.

John had today off, so we went to see Up, saw Lori and Lani perform in a skate show, and celebrated my birthday with my family. Mara even learned how to play Go Fish. It was nice to be able to spend the day as a family again.

One of Myra's friends invited us over to her house today to go swimming. It was the first time we've been swimming this summer since our trip to San Antonio, and I had a hard time getting Mara out of the water even though she was in the pool for more than two hours.
