I'm 29 tomorrow, I can't believe it. The strangest thing about it is that I see 23 year olds and I think I'm still them, but I'm not. I'm 23 + 6 years. 6 years wiser, 2 kids wiser, 3 moves wiser. I don't mid age, moving forward, becoming more me. I look forward to 30, 40, 50 and beyond... I wonder what each new year will bring me.
I don't feel like I need to go backward and be young again. I've lived that, I made it out the other side. I love my life now, in this moment. These ARE the best days of my life.
So, 29 tomorrow. Happy birthday ME!!

What a week!
It all started with my little guy sleeping though the night in his BIG BOY BED! I'm so excited for him, he's so excited for him too!!
Skye, 6.5 months old, is officially crawling (and pulling into a full stand) now. She really gets around too! No more leaving the room and hoping she'll be in the same place when you get back! It's fun because now she can sit up and crawl, so Carter can play with her and she loves it. She loves him, he's her world, she can't wait to do all the cool things her big brother does. And he loves her too, very gentle and thoughtful little boy!
Then after my first adventure out to the zoo with 2 kids by myself, we repurchased our membership. On Wednesday we went to the last of their evening concerts. The music was pretty cool, but too loud for Carter, despite being far away from it. So we enjoyed our picnic dinner then off to explore animals. The animals are frisky at night, we saw an Arctic fox, the anteaters (my new favorite), a tree roo (very soft looking), camels, turtles (or where they tortoise?), a sloth, and I'm sure a few more. We must do this evening zoo trip a few times next year, it wasn't as crowded as during the day or weekends.
Then Thursday a visit from Grandma to get tomato's to can on Friday, then a full day of canning tomato's. They are like little jars on sunshine in the winter!
Now, off to Grandma and Papa's boat for the weekend. It's a long drive, but I'm hoping the kids will sleep. Hope it doesn't rain the whole time! This should be a fun way to close the chapter on summer. BTW, what happened to summer? We were just planting, and now it's over, my little girl went from an infant to trying to be a toddler. Geesh, if you ever want time to pass quickly, just watch kids grow and change, it'll fly by!
