… makes it rough to write, especially with a woodpecker on my shoulder! Cooper is a nighttime feast-er. He screams and nurses, and that’s about all I do from 6pm to 10. I think of blogging everyday, but by the time I get Cooper down for the night, I fall into bed myself. Woe to mommyblog.com!
We had an awesome party Saturday night to celebrate Casey’s 39th birthday. Live music – Caribbean steal drums – and we even had it catered. We’ve been wanting to have a big blow-out party for a long time, so what’s a better time than the present?? We had our guests bring “exotic” wines and beers, and it was a blast. Casey was the birthday boy, but Kenny and Cooper were the celebrities. Good friends (including one of Casey’s long-time friends who came in from Denver) were aplenty, the weather was perfect and we danced the night away. We hired a babysitter each for Kenny and Cooper, so we could actually talk to friends and finish our sentences. It was one of the most fun nights I’ve ever had!
Tomorrow is Casey’s actual birthday, and he keeps joking that it’s going to be tough to top Saturday night. Goodness, between nursing and entertaining Kenny (or at the very least, keeping Kenny from coloring the walls and brushing Dudley’s teeth while I’m nursing), and with Cooper’s absolute aversion to cars and driving anywhere more than five minutes, it’s been tough to shop for gifts and plan more than the day ahead. (How we pulled off a party is a wonder… the internet and credit cards are wonderful things…) Anyway, my sweet, wonderful better half begins his last year of his thirties tomorrow.
I love you Casey!
