39 Years Old

Happy Birthday, Brian!  My husband of almost five years just turned 39!  I officially started my maternity leave today so I picked Kate up a bit early and we headed to the grocery store to pick up our cupcakes and select some sprinkles to decorate them with.  Kate picked neon pink, green, and purple disc sprinkles and a Frozen balloon for Brian!  Wait.  Whose birthday is is again?!

Kate has been eyeing this Frozen helium balloon!  Every time we go into the grocery store together she points it out.  When I suggested we pick out a balloon for Daddy for his birthday she was all in and knew exactly which balloon she wanted to get him!  I'm sure Daddy appreciated Anna and Elsa wishing him a happy birthday too!

At 39, Brian is about to be a Daddy to his second daughter.  Prior to me being on leave, Brian would get Kate ready and fed and dropped off at school in the morning and then head into work.  He's been working at a corporate company for about 1.5 years and I think he loves it.  The corporate game is totally up Brian's alley and he is always coming home with positive accolades and glowing progress reports.  While I don't think this is his dream job, I think he has learned a lot from the role he is in and the company he is with and continues to grow both professionally and personally.

He's usually home around 5:15-5:30 and we usually all have dinner together.  He is still an AVID sports enthusiast and a social networker!  He is determined and loving and caring and positive and strong willed and his (almost) three girls mean the world to him!

(While I secretly hoped Little Sister would arrive on July 4th, I think Brian secretly hoped Little Sister would arrive on his birthday - July 13th!  Little Sister has plans to arrive on her own day.  Whatever day that might be it will be the perfect one!)

Birthday dinner over the weekend with Tom and Mary!

Decorating Daddy's birthday cupcakes!

Cupcake perfection!

Kate performs a bit of quality control!

I kind of want to too!

Brian's stash!

Brian's birthday love!

We love you to bits, Bri, and hope you enjoyed your 39th birthday!  Next year, we'll be celebrating a 40th birthday and a 1st birthday around the same time!  Brian says we can celebrate the 1st birthday during the day and the 40th at night...

(Between you and me, I think it might take him 40 days to recover from that one if that is really what happens!!!)
