Zoe in my belly.

It’s been an incredible 8 years.
Our family is almost complete.
We’re celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this September.
I couldn’t ask for anything different.
Here’s to many more years of love, health & happiness!
Can’t imagine my life any other way.

Today after work I met my sister for Mani/Pedis. During the pedicure I got to sit in a massage chair. Oh, it was soooo good. My neck really needed it!

I love getting my hands & toes painted, but I hate doing it myself, because, I suck at doing my other hand, and well frankly, I’m starting to not be be able to bend down and reach my feet anymore. I had a heck of a time shaving my legs the other day.

Our lovely toes! (We didn’t get the same color but a similar shade – mine’s more purple brown and Amy’s is more bronze brown).

And our French manicured nails. Love it!

This evening we went out for dinner with my in-laws to a local joint I hadn’t been to in forever. The kids meals came with dessert. Mack wouldn’t eat his meal, but the dessert, yeah, no problems there. The kid is obsessed with chocolate. He did eat food off everyone else’s plate though before dessert.

Tonight I watched the movie Kick-Ass with Jamie. It was funny. About super heroes! I worked on Zoe’s February Baby Sweater while watching. It’s coming along nicely. I LOVE the stitch pattern. I will take an updated photo of it over the weekend.

ps- Just a reminder that I'm throwing a contest for this entire month! Details are here.(New prizes were announced yesterday).

I like the picture in Boston in March '06 ... "right before getting pregnant .. " - I know you didn't mean it this way, but it made me tlaugh thinking "No wonder your hubby has such a big smile" ... I am bad, but it struck me as funny!

It was a fun day!!! We need to do it more often. I was surprised to think that in 25 years of being sisters, we have never done a Spa day!!!

Happy 8 year anniversary! Boy does time fly! Can't believe it is my 8 years coming up soon too!!!
