while i have always viewed my birthday as "just another day," that has never been more true than yesterday! i was actually taken by suprise when my mom called me to wish me a happy birthday. then i called ryan to drop a few hints to confirm that he too had forgotten...check! about an hour later when the hints sunk in he called and invited me to lunch...ok sounds pretty good. mclayne falls asleep in the car and we decide to take lunch home...how exciting! i took ryan back to work, took mclayne + cole to the library for the first time, survived an unbelievable toddler meltdown, and was in bed by 9:15. man, think i'll just take a mulligan and try again on saturday!!!
however, my highlight of the day is definetly this artwork by mclayne. a few times a week i'll sit down with mclayne and draw pictures with her. yesterday she wanted to paint a gorilla we had sketched. this is typical mclayne art...contolled, thoughtful, not too much. she has two books filled with these...i love them! best present ever!!

Happy birthday - I was thinking of you! Your birthday is easy for me to remember because it is so closed to my dad's. Mclayne's drawing is really cute - she's a natural.
Happy birthday! So I've decided that I need to be in charge of remembering birthdays... Spencer is clueless. Its quite sad. hahahaha! So I'll mark yours on the calendar! P.S. Love the drawing, shes such a little artist!
Happy Birthday! It is true, it seems when you have kids you stop having birthdays for yourself. But I would say getting in bed by 9:15 is a great way to celebrate a birthday!!!
