Happy Birthday Lisa!

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday...no I'm not saying any numbers! :) I've stopped counting this year. :) I had a very special day. It started out with Machen serving me breakfast in bed! Boy was that nice! What a great hubby I have! :) Then we took Drew for his 3 week check-up. He's doing great! He weighs a whopping 8 lbs, 8 oz. already! His cheeks & tummy are really starting to fill out & under his chin. Unfortunately he had to get a "heel stick" again b/c the first test came back incomplete. It was very hard for me to watch him cry out in pain, but thankfully it's over! I had originally thought my birthday would be a complete "blurr"...not able to get out yet...but thanks to my mom & all the help she's been I've been doing/feeling GREAT! We had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants...California Dreaming! Rich & Laurie joined us too. What a joy it is to be able to celebrate being a Mommy twice over now! I have so very much to be thankful for. The Lord has been very good to me.



Drew slept through most of the dinner. :)



Brianna enjoyed "reading" the menu to us! :)



Machen's gift to me was a swing for the backyard so I can enjoy being outdoors with my two little ones. It's already working out great. I can rock Drew while watching Brianna play in her sandbox, etc. The perfect gift to help us enjoy these gorgeous days!



Brianna adores her baby brother & LOVES to "hold" him. We've had some close calls, but so far she hasn't smothered him! ;)



Drew had his first bath & thoroughly enjoyed it.



Daddy's version of "holding" Drew. Hey, whatever works!
