All hail the birthday girl!

Yesterday we celebrated my 28th Birthday! This is the first time in many years that I acan remember Jacob being here to celebrate. I was glad he came home in time to celebrate. You have to appreciate his creativity on the card he gave me. He took time to put his own personal touch by cutting out my face from a picture and replacing the person on the card with me! Too funny. You gotta love his sense of humor.

Sandy had us over for breakfast and made it really special for me. Jacob's grandparents joined us and his grandmother, Jo, along with Sandy, prepared an awesome meal! They all spoiled me rotten, as well as my other family and friends through gifts, cards and phone calls. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day so special and the best birthday yet! Georgia decided to wish me a happy birthday by waking me up at 5:30 a.m. and then didn't want to go back to sleep. Little pill - she sure is clever!

Jacob and I went out eat in Austin to celebrate my birthday for the evening. We have been looking at SUV's since the end of May. I researched and test drove so many cars it's not even funny! We finally found the car for us. A used '07 Acura MDX. Low mileage so that is great. It is similar to my TL so I love it of course but there is so much more room! It'll be so great for all of our stuff and will give us more room to grow. What a great birthday gift as well!

Georgia learned how to pull up in the pack and play last Thursday night. Today she pulled up to stand at the coffee table and again at the sofa table. The problem is that she is quite brave and decides to let go quite often and when she gets tired she just plops down. This is a bit scary in the event she could bang her head and scare the dickens out of all of us! I guess it's part of her learning how to stand and then before long I'm sure she'll be thinking about walking. Wow it is hard to believe.

She loves to play with the cat "Goldmember" and talk to him through the glass door.
