Her Special Day


Julie is the primary journalist in our family (she does a great job on this blog stuff). She rarely features herself in any of her posts and I thought it was only appropriate to add an entry for her. She celebrated her 3Xth birthday last week. I decided to refrain from posting her age although most of you most likely know it already. On the evening of March 14th, Julie took Sarah to a local production of Beauty and the Beast. Since that day was so busy with activities I asked if we could celebrate her B-Day on the 15th. I can tell she was a bit disappointed but conceded nonetheless. While she was gone the boys and I wrapped some gifts, hung some streamers and put candles on her favorite cake (the lemon creme cake from Olive Garden). I had the boys stay up with me so that we could surprise her when she got home. We got the camcorder ready and shot her as she came in. I'm pretty sure she was pleasantly surprised.
Julie is the ingredient in our family that makes things turn out perfect. She typically is the one that makes our kids birthdays so special. IMO, she deserves to have a day where she can fell celebrated as well and not just because it's her birthday. WE LOVE YOU, MOM/JULES!!

Happy belated Birthday Julie!

I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago. You are a great blogger. I'm so glad we can "catch-up" on the news with your family.

Tell Chad and the kids hello.

Your cousin, Mark
