Birthday Spirit

Tonight we celebrated with a slightly belated dinner at Rusty Bucket for Tom's (as in "Gangsta Tom's") 65th birthday.  We [hope] we made up for the slight delay with the little birthday rap we performed.  Yes, folks, we rapped for Gangsta Tom's birthday!  Fitting, huh?!  And when I say "we" what I really mean is "I".  When I was left high and dry at the stage, I performed alone, but my entourage did dress the part.  By the way, you can just call me Feminem.  Yes, that is the female version of Eminem, but cleaner and less abrasive.

Of course, it was great to spend some quality time with Mary and Tom.  We are never short of fun or laughter when we are all together!

Speaking of birthdays today is Kate's five month birthday!  I cannot believe that our baby girl is growing so fast.  It seems like just yesterday that we found out we were expecting and now she's going on nearly a half of a year.  That is just insane.  It makes me happy and sad at the same time.  I'm so proud of our little girl, but where has the time gone?  The last five months feel like they've been a blur.  Life just cannot go this fast.  It simply cannot.

Five month old Kate is still the sweet angel that she has been since day one.  We really lucked out with such a fantastic baby!  She rarely cries and when she does it's a quick yelp, one to let you know that whatever is going on is not what Kate wants.  As soon as you remedy the situation, she is back to her smiley, happy, perfectly content self!  I am so looking forward to continuing to watch our baby grow.  Each and every day is something incredible!

Happy 65th Birthday, Tom!

And happy five month birthday, Kate Maddie-Mo!

Lil' Kate.
