Celebrating 30...

I had a wonderful birthday this year! We had such a great time celebrating in New Paltz last week that I was happy with keeping this weekend pretty low-key. But a few of my new mom friends had another idea in mind and we wound up partying into the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning (yes, I was still awake at the hour I was born 30 years ago...3:06 a.m.).

I shouldn't say that the festivities were all for me..rather, we had gathered together for a Valentine's Day party. But once the babies went to bed, the parents played!

On Sunday morning at 8 sharp, Mark and I woke up a little groggy to a wide-awake Eamon, oblivious to the fact that we'd just gone to sleep four hours before! Mark let me snooze a little longer while he made a delicious brunch--coconut pancakes, poached eggs, and yogurt with granola, strawberries, and bananas.

Later on in the afternoon, we dropped E off at Leezie and Speed's and darted over to the movies. I had selected the oh-so uplifting Revolutionary Road, which I regretted about 30 minutes in. A great film, just SO depressing! I should have opted for He's Just Not Into You. Oh, well.

Thanks to all for your calls, messages, and nice words. Turning 30 wasn't so bad, after all!
