a special birthday...

happy birthday brylee....
we had a great time with you and your family today...Shelley you are a wonderful party planner... and fabulous with BBTN as well...thanks for including us...so the cake walk was a huge hit and hayride of course....


















baby ct..you are beautiful and maybe your mom will teach me to run a really long time without being chased...

















while saturdays are really not days for deep thoughts...more like organized chaos while moving the whole family places...youknowwhatimean? we did tons today and it was really fun but i'm so very glad i went to exercise early..before it all started... provides that clarity i was talking about sometimes..quiet moments do...

while we were not participating in the mt laurel festival today- that is where i went for my cardio this morning for a change of pace...there is a beautiful lake there that is probably one of my favorite spots in birmingham ... beautiful- i always wish i had my camera when i get there because it is amazing...but an aerial view would be much better...it is hard to capture the effect unless you stand still and turn as you take it in...there is wonderful all around you...much like our lives...it is so very hard to see all of the good things if you stand still and look just forward...but if you stop, take a deep breath and turn around slowly you may see it all in a short enough time frame to really remember and take it all in....

that's all for tonight...i hope you are all well exactly where you are in your life...blessings!
i love you bebek and sam...
