On Monday (my actual birthday) I had to go to a Memorial Service for a former student who took her own life. It has been a rough 2 weeks and the whole situation has really affected me & I am still processing. When I got home from the service, my mom & older sister had decorated our kitchen for my birthday to cheer me up.
And, they took the girls to get me birthday balloons.
For my birthday dinner, I just wanted to spend it with Kevin & the girls so we got a Zachary's pizza to go. And, ate it on paper plates. Best B-day dinner ever.
Birthday Cake.....Recipe coming soon. Amazingness.
Tulips. I love tulips. I used to say roses were my favorite flower, but I think tulip are.
Kevin put in a stone pathway for me over the weekend.:
My mother in law got Kate this necklace for her birthday in January.Kate loves it & wants to wear it everyday.
Check out the font....Comic Sans....font fail.
(I am a font snob. This font is not okay)
The weather in Nor Cal has been crazy. And cold. And rainy.Um, it is June. It should not be 55 degrees out.
The sun has been out one day this week.
Claire pretending to be a dog all afternoon.
Patriotic Goldfish for Memorial Day.

Getting her chair to help me make dinner.
My view last night. On the couch. In cozy slippers & jammies.Playing Angry Birds and Words with Friends. Addicted to the ipad.
Cutest picture of Kevin & Claire taken last night.
Too bad it was at 10pm & Claire was still awake.
So, there was our week in Instagram pictures.
So fun to ditch my fancy camera every once in a while.
I am a fan of Instagram, so fun to play around with all the different filters!

I love that your girls wear matching clothes! I can't wait to do that with my only little children! :)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I'd let my child wear something with Comic Sans on it... way to let go of your font snobiness for your child's sake!
ReplyDeletelooks like your birthday week was as lovely as could be despite the literal and figurative clouds!
ReplyDeleteyou really are getting the hang of intsa! :) welcome to the club!
Ugh, could you send some of that rain and coolness to us? We have had rain 1 day in the last 3-4 months. We are dry, dry, dry and the temps are reaching 100 already!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful birthday! I am so sorry to hear about your student, that must have been heartbreaking! Your pics are wonderful! Have a great weekend ;)

ReplyDeleteMel, I love your instagram pics! I am addicted to that app. :) The weather has been crazy here in the Central Valley too. I love it though. :) I meant to comment a long time ago, when you stopped by my blog, but I am the worst blogger this week and completely forgot. (hanging my head in shame) So great to find another Superior Dairy fan. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your week's montage. I'm so sorry to hear about your student. What a tragic loss. I am glad your family decorated for your birthday to remind you that even in the midst of heartache, you are loved and you matter!

i'm sorry about the loss of your student.
a friend of mine took her life in january (wife and mother of 2). it was devastating. satan is a liar. i hate him. i still grieve for her, it comes in bits and pieces, in disbelief, and then turns to hope as i count on jesus who overcomes.
