Happy Birthday to Me!!

Cool Clara, waiting for the next big wave.
The sound of the waves scared Lucy, or was it mama screaming in her ear when a wave caught me by surpise?

In celebration of my birthday yesterday, Michael took the day off and we went to the beach with the girls. The day didn't start out as planned, both girls were fussy, Michael was doing some work around the house, and we didn't get out of the house until 2:30. Luckily, that time got us to the beach when it wasn't too hot and the waves were big and strong! We spent 2 hours playing in the sand before mommy and daddy were all tuckered out! Oh, and the girls were getting tired too.

On the way home, we stopped in one of my favorite New England towns to enjoy flatbread pizza and a beer. This was one of the simplest, yet one of the best birthdays I've ever had - thanks my loves!
