43

Today is my 43rd birthday.  I have no idea how I got so old.

My birthday always makes me a little melancholy.  Even when I have a good one, like this year, I still feel sad, and I can't quite put the reason for my sadness into words.  So instead of focusing on my birthday, I'm going to focus on the great weekend I just had.  My sister was in town, as were my parents.  While I missed seeing my brother in law and nephews, it was lovely to have quality time with my sister.  I miss her so much - I really hope we can arrange more visits as the boys get older.

Finn is crazy and silly and a little bit nutty.  Zachary is growing like a weed.  I'm exhausted.  That's my life in a nutshell.

5/28/14: brotherly love

5/29/14: hanging out with PopPop

5/30/14: getting some loving from Grandma

5/31/14: his first race - a fund raiser for my sister's friend Kristan.  She's an amazing woman who built her family with help from an RE, and is now facing an even more difficult challenge after almost dying from sepsis last year.

6/1/14: my sister and her nephews

6/2/14: the obligatory "oh crap, I forgot to get a picture today" shot

6/3/14: I took a picture of him here before I left for work, but then my mom sent this one and it just had to be Tuesday's picture of the day
