James - 29

He caught up again!  James is now the proud owner of a popcorn maker.  With how much he enjoys his popcorn, I can't believe we never had one.  We're pretty impressed thus far, except I think we need to buy more gourmet kernels.  =)  We celebrated with a pretty low key weekend of swimming and family time.  It was great to have him home for one extra day!  We love Daddy around here.

Here are Hazel and Hailyn being launched in the air after a good pool ball session. 

 

I made him one of his favorites - giant chocolate chip cookie cake.  It's always a hit and is so fast and easy.

Then right after his birthday weekend, we left him for Waco.  While we were gone, he worked hard at work AND at home.  I can't believe all he got done.  In fact, the last night in Waco, I was worried sick that he had fallen off a ladder or passed out or something while all alone and no one would know.  He didn't answer my calls until after I went to bed, so I was panicing!  Really he was just painting and couldn't get to his phone.  I think he learned his lesson not to worry his wifey like that.  

He patched up the cracks from the foundation issues (which was a big enough job as is), painted the dining room and part of the living room, textured and painted over the wallpaper in the guest bath downstairs, and put everything back where it belonged.  I was amazed and so grateful!

Happy birthday to me... I mean to you, James!
