a day to celebrate!

happy birthday jordan, my honey! i don't know who's having more fun today, jordan or me and the boys. celebrating birthdays with 2.5 year old boys is where it's at. the boys gave jordan an awesome present of waking up at 7:20 this morning. we started our day with homemade pumpkin chocolate chip waffles in the shapes of farm animals. we took a nice hike in the woods and threw plastic sharks down a steep hill. we dug in the freshly wet dirt, made a construction site with pint-sized dump trucks and skid steers. we went to a new gymnastics gym open house and the boys jumped off of 4 foot high platforms, did somersaults down a wedge and slid down fireman poles. we ate mighty fine cheeseburgers and fries and fresh strawberry lemonade. and later we're going to have cake and candles and singing and then j and i are going to see bela fleck.

what a day to celebrate! we love you!
