Birthday in review

The day started off on a good note. Dace slept til 8 and when we came downstairs to have breakfast, I was greeted by....A BRAND NEW KITCHENAID MIXER!!!! I have wanted one of these for many years. Oh the things we will make together.


After a yummy breakfast of bacon, eggs and homemade hashbrowns, we ran some work errands then headed to the Staff's to use their pool. We were greeted there by a Happy Birthday banner and cupcakes. Awww! I felt so loved. We had the pool to ourselves and swam for an hour or so before breaking for lunch- the best sandwiches ever (okay, well, definitely my top 3) from Stu's. See Dace in his swim ring? He was hesitant at first but once he figured out how much fun floating can be, he was lovin' it!

After lunch, Mark and Lisa were back from their shoot so we headed back to the pool for another swim. This time, Dace jumped right into his ring and gathered up his toys. He'd float all around the pool just soaking up the sun and splashing his fists. He learned how to kick his feet too. He's such a little frog.
We left at 530 and Dace instantly crashed into a deep nap til 7. He sure was ticked when he roused him to go get dinner. But it was nothing that an appetizer of milk couldn't fix. Mexican for dinner, a quick milk run to target and back home to bath bubbas and turf him in bed. The day was completed with ice cream sandwiches and an early bedtime. It was a good day.

sounds terrific. I am glad you had a great day and I am oh so jealous about the kitchen aid. Perfect gift for you. I can't wait to see what will be coming now that you have him as a trusty partner in the kitchen.
