My Little Musician

It's a "quiet" morning. Hubby left early this morning for Oakland, and the "big" kids are in school. As I'm on my computer to check mail the toddler is serenating me with his latest aquisition...an old guitar. He found it in my daughter"s closet last night, and hasn't stopped playing since. Well, except for a few short hours while he slept. Think the guitar belongs to my 19 year old son who used to have that room before he moved out. Maybe he'll let his little brother keep it! What joy, more noice! Can you you put a 2 year old in guitar lessons or is that a wasted venue? Or maybe I just need to get some earplugs!

Had a great birthday yesterday! My husband and kids got me this gorgeous Guess purse, Guess jeans and this cute shirt. I'm pretty lucky.

A Happy Birthday

Today is my birthday...and I'm now officially in my mid forties! I celebrated like a kid. Took the toddler out hiking and jumping in mudpuddles, and afterwards we went to Chuckee Cheese for pizza and some serious playtime with our buddies. Tonight it is family time and we'll go have a birthday dinner at B.J's. I'm so lucky to have such caring family and friends.

And jumping in puddles is always fun...!

On the trails with the toddler. They are a little muddy and extra challenging today. Climbing the hill with a 38 lb kid sure makes me feel alive!

Sorry for the silence, but in the aftermath of Chile's 8.8 earthquakee my thoughts were elsewhere. My uncle and aunt are there right now, and a dear frie

nd's mother in law lives in Santiago. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
