I am another year older today, but am I any wiser? Hum…not so sure about that. lol Yes, it’s that dreaded day again, the day I turn another year older. Actually, it’s really not that bad, I am still sitting here at almost 10am in my pj’s working away and it’s really nice. I could be off in an office somewhere right? No, this is much better. It’s actually been a pretty good year, the kids are getting more and more independant, even Baby and other than the every night mealtime struggles the days are quite pleasant. The basement being finished is worth every penny it cost as they love playing down there when it’s not “going outside” weather. I’ve discovered or at least accepted that with every phase we get through, there is yet another one waiting in the wings…will they ever end? Probably not, but that’s ok.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Cape Cod…my first time going there and we had a beautiful house right on the beach, and we didn’t have to pay for it, even better right?!!! The kids had such an amazing time and so did we. I’ve discovered that catching crabs and fish in their beach pails can occupy hours and be so much fun, even Daddy enjoyed it! I’ve also discovered that sand gets into EVERYTHING!

Before Cape Cod, Hubby and I went off for a weekend getaway and spent 2 lovely nights in NY’s wine country, it was so relaxing and fantastic and no, I did not miss the boys really, I mean, sure I thought about them, but Hubby was the one who called home 3 times a day, I would not even have thought to pick up the phone, Grandma knew where we were and how to reach us if she needed to. I discovered that I can disconnect and it was needed and appreciated. Oh and I discovered Brambleberry wine…ya…it’s good.
