A day early, Matt and the kids treated me to an Indian feast for lunch and a perfect barbecue for dinner. Then I got to open my presents--two beautiful necklaces from the girls and some fine wines from Matt. Bright and early on Friday we took off for Ohio. The kids did their very best to behave, and all in all, I was amazed by how well the trip went...thanks, in part, from some well-timed calls from family and friends. When we arrived in Piqua, I blew out the candles on a homemade carrot cake that Dad Hartings baked for me. Yum!
Then, on Saturday, we got to spend the day with Jen, Kathryn and Jack--swimming and splashing, racing Power Wheels, playing baseball, and picnicking out back. Oh, and did I mention that I got a homemade marble cheesecake for dessert?! I may need to buy new clothes before I head home.
Thanks for all of the birthday love. So far, my thirties have been grand.
