Happy Birthday Brian!

Today is Brian's birthday, and we were so excited to actually get to spend it with him! Last year, he was in Milwaukee and we were in Chicago. The two years before that, he was in Taipei for work. We woke up this morning and went to Tae Kwon Do. Right after that, Brian took his motorcycle out and met up with some friends at the Frozen Snot Ride. Of course, it was beautiful warm weather -- not too many frozen snotty noses this year! Later in the afternoon, we went to watch H's soccer game. But right after we got home, H ditched us for a sleep-over birthday party. So it was a pretty low-key night -- just the three of us. Of course I made corned beef and cabbage. It's kind of a tradition around here (except for when Brian isn't home!). And actually, it turned out that C didn't even eat with us. H was invited to a sleepover birthday party, and C kind of lost it because he really missed his big brother. Honestly, besides the school sleepover, this is the first time H been away from us. Eventually C came out, ate and joined us for dessert (a delicious chocolate hazelnut meringue cake). It turned out to be a pretty nice evening. Happy birthday to an amazing man. We are happy you are ours (especially me).
