Birthday roundup 2

I didn’t get a cake from a box for my birthday – but I did get a trip to Miami and an awesome fire truck birthday card from my boys!  🙂

On Friday of last week, I left the boys with Robert and hopped on a plane to head to South Beach for a reunion with 13 of my best friends from Vandy.  This trip had been a year in the planning and 14 out of 15 girls in our group were able to make it.  Unbelievable really!  While all of our lives have taken us down different paths, it was SO good to catch up, laugh about old times and talk about what’s new.  It was a such a treat to be reminded of how great my Vanderbilt experience was and what truly impressive girls I met there. It was also such a treat to sit by the beach, sleep in and enjoy some fantastic food!  Quite the way to ring in 35!

Robert VERY nicely held down the fort and took great care of both boys all weekend with plenty of trips to the tot lot…

As much fun as I had, I literally could not wait to get back home to my boys.  All 3 of them picked me up at the airport and I was so happy to be there that I just had to sit in the backseat between the car seats so I could love on Spencer and Maxwell!  Before we could even get home, Maxwell had already told me all about the “oh-runj” picture he had drawn for me and the firetruck birthday card (that played music!) and “oh-runj” flowers that he and Robert had gotten me!  That kid can’t keep a secret!  🙂

On the morning of my actual birthday, Robert had to catch a 7am flight to New Orleans for work.  boo.  But, I got to spend the day with my 2 other favorite little dudes…

and that’s about the best birthday present I could ask for!

Thank you so much for all the calls, texts, emails and FB messages!  I really appreciated every one!!
