I welcomed another year on Saturday with endless blue skies and lots of family time. It was somewhat bittersweet as my 30th year was also the best and most exciting year on record and I couldn’t help but think of my last birthday when we were waiting so anxiously for Robin to arrive (already 6 days overdue at the time), but we certainly have much to look forward to and be thankful for this next year. I started the day off with a tough 4-mile trail run and took Robin for a walk around the lake while Bill and Lilly went to swim class. We had lunch on the porch and the girls took a long afternoon nap while I read a book outside – a very rare treat! In the afternoon we went for a short hike and had a great dinner and red velvet cake for dessert. Happy Birthday to Me! 🙂
