Happy 2009! We had a great start to the New Year. Some highlights of the month were Matt and I running the Half Marathon and my birthday weekend! Otherwise we took the month to catch up and reorganize for the new year.
Our friends the Farrell's came for a surprise visit on my birthday. Sean made an amazing birthday cake that we all indulged in!
Matt and another husband planned a super fun night out to celebrate my birthday and my girlfriend's birthday as they are just a few days apart. We had an amazing dinner and then we went to a surprise party at a local wine bar. Another friend has a birthday at the same time and she came to the party as well. Here we are celebrating!
Here are the husband's of the birthday girl trio
Jennifer and I before we blew out the candles on our cake
Matt and I having fun at the wine bar festivities
Eating dinner before the surprise party at the wine bar.
After the Half Marathon we went to a local pub for a beer to celebrate. Very family-orientated place as there were several other parents celebrating with their young children :)
Here we are with our finisher medals - woohoo!
Sander and Ashling are catching butterflies
Our neighbor gave us the box from his new grill for Sander to play in. He's still enjoying it after 3 weeks! Luckily it hasn't rained yet :)
