Anyway, we flew home the morning of my birthday. It was a long flight, but kidless it was so easy! We watched a grown up movie, we read books, I took a nap. It was amazing. It made me remember that flying isn't ALL that bad after all.
We got home after lunch and came home to a very festive lovely house.
It was so cute. And we found out that Sandy LOVES love LOVES balloons. He sat and played with the balloon that was tied to his chair for ever. When he got done it was all covered with peanut butter and jelly smears, ewww.
And we had to wake poor Sandy up from his nap. He was sleeping so solid that it took me a few tries to wake him (unusual for our little light sleeper!) and when he woke he was so cranky that he wasn't even excited to see me! But he warmed up after a while.
Grandma helped Max pick out a gift for me--he got me a heart shaped pillow (cute!) and a little countertop fountain. He was so excited and proud of it--what a darling.
Look at Sandy's face! What is Kris doing there in the background?
It was a great birthday. Kris had some lovely gifts that he had bought for me early and they were waiting, and Kathy did so much to make me feel special. What a lovely day, after a nice and relaxing week. I'm pretty lucky I have to say!

How neat!! What a fantastic surprise. You've a good mother in law. That you do!
Oh, these shots are all so dear. And Kathy - what a woman. Max looks so old and really - not as goofy as sometimes. And Sandy - oh, that face just makes me want to swoop down and hug the stuffing out of him. I really love these pictures. I wish the balloon hadn't half covered your face - I'd have that one framed and hung everywhere in my house. And I'm so glad you made it home safe. I am grateful, so grateful, may I stop and say, that my children have blessed my life with their kindness and hard work, and that they have created this family for me - I mean our family. Parents do what they can to shape a family, but in the end, it is the choices of the children that make it real.
and What Is The GrandMother Doing?
You look lovely
and the kids are sparkling
Love you
Dad
