Today was one of those day's where you are reminded that this is what life is all about. We have two beautiful (I think they are) children that were absolutely perfect today. It was also Cory's birthday. We woke up early and got to visit with him before he headed to work, then set out to the farm at Sunray Road to run around for a little bit in the field so Caroline could "get her wiggles out." She made me laugh when we got back in the car, and as her hair is matted to her head with sweat, she said "I ot my iggles out!"
I always love the drive down Highway 90, or in the City known as Mahan Road, out there this time of year with the Crèpe Myrtles in bloom, which Mr. Mahan planted years ago to beautify "Mahan Road." On our way back we stopped to get a fresh hand-spun milkshake from the corner store and then headed home to meet a sitter so mama could have a few hours of "work time" and get ready for daddy's birthday dinner. And, Caroline and I went swimming at our little mommy and me swim lessons. Cory's Birthday Dinner was absolutely delightful with lots of laughter and good friends, and on our way home I commented to Cory – this is a day to remember – relaxing and really noting major happened, but 100% what life is all about: family, friends, laughter, outdoors and togetherness.
And, bye, bye Beemer --- type to trade it in for a more realistic "family vehicle." Sadness...
