birthday momma

I never seem to post in order or on schedule.  Christmas in February.  Valentine's Day in July.  Why not?  So here's my birthday post in November that I should have done in September.

Matt had the whole week of my birthday off!  It was lovely. We spent my birthday at the zoo. We've lived in three cities with fabulous zoos - Toledo, Memphis, and now Albuquerque.

My favorite animals at the Albuquerque zoo are the seals and sea lions.  I love watching them swim.

Here I am watching them. I post this picture because of the strollers around me. Yup, they are both ours. It was the first time Matt and I took the three kids out somewhere we might need a stroller (Ollie was 7 weeks old).  We weren't sure what strollers we'd need and since we were both there we brought a seat for each kid.  We only really needed a seat for Ollie in the end.  But he got to rotate around and change it up.  Willa and Clark pretty much ran and ran and ran.

 

 

 

After the zoo, I came home to beautiful flowers sitting on my front porch from Moe,

 

 

Willa, Oliver, and I played,

 

and we finished off the night with cake.  Matt was behind the camera all day, I guess.  No pictures of him.  oops.
