Wow I have a lot to catch up on from last week! My birthday was on the 9th...I am officially 30 something!! Anyway what a rough number! Wesley and I had reservations to eat at Ely's, but as my day went on I painted, cleaned, chased babies...I wasn't in the mood to do anything! Our sweet neighbor Judy kept the babies for us and we went and ate Mexican and did a little Christmas shopping! So much fun...it is rare that we can get away together for a few hours.
Anyway on Friday night chef Wesley cooked a fabulous birthday dinner for me! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, mushroom and spinach stuffed beef tenderloin over a potato cake and my favorite spinach, mandarin orange and almond salad. YUMMY!!! The beautiful flowers were from my sweet family for my birthday!!


On Saturday Wesley got up and ran his first half marathon...in the rain! We showed up at the last minute to catch him cross the finish line. He did great. He finished 27 out of 130! Yeah Daddy!! He is working so hard to train for his 50K in March!! Yes I know he is CRAZY!!! Who really runs 31 miles! We are so proud of him though!Run daddy Run!


Then this week we went to see Canton City of Lights. Our church (Madison Heights) rented the old post office on the square and we had music, hot chocolate, and yummy desserts, and a place to warm up between the mini fire truck ride and the carousel ride! The babies had a blast and slept good that night! WHEW what a busy week we've had!
