Well my new camera was not my birthday present from nathan. It was actually from my in-laws (thank you!). This morning nathan got up early and started getting the kids dressed, so I asked if we had plans. We left the house at 10:30 am for an undisclosed location. By noon I knew the kids were being dropped off at my sister’s house, and at 12:30pm nathan informed me I had a 1pm appointment to get a tattoo. Happy Birthday to me!

after two weeks he reappeared tonight!!! I am thrilled, and want to bring him in so he never leaves again.


Where are you???
He’s been AWOL for over a week, and the only time his food bowl was empty we discovered three HUGE raccoons feasting in the back yard.
I miss him.
but I asked too many questions of my hubby when he returned to the car after a “quick”stop at Best Buy. Anyway I got a new camera!! It is perty green and I am blessed to have a husband who tolerates my nosey streaks and loves me. Happy Birthday to me, a few weeks early.
We spent yesterday at the happiest place, having the a really good time. I was a bit skeptical about how Quinn would handle waiting in lines and not having a nap, but he was amazing and such a trooper. Both kids had a great time and we all got to go on two roller coasters as a family for the first time! Quinn loved going fast.

and saw a note Johanna had written taped to the mantle.

(Dear Santa I hope you are well. Love Johanna)
