Happy half birthday to you!

So, my running?  I did almost four miles this morning solo and my leg was still awful.  Yuck.  I think it may need running rest, but I don't want to give it!  I need to run so I don't go bat$hit crazy!!!

E's half birthday was on June 28th, and L's is on July 7th, so we decided that today was as good a day as any to celebrate their half birthdays.  I made a cake, we went over to my in-laws' house for dinner, and we celebrated there.  The girls were delighted, and it was so simple - just cake, singing, and a candle.  No gifts, no decorations, no big party - they were so happy with it just like it was.  It gives me hope that maybe birthdays don't have to be such a huge extravaganza all the time! 

Happy 2.5 to E and happy 4.5 to L.  I can't believe you're both so big already, and I love you both so much!

So happy after the singing and blowing out of candles!
