Twenty-something

Last week we celebrated Justin's birthday. Well, I celebrated, Justin mourned his fading youth. "Too close to 30 for celebrating," says he. Blah. Keeping birthday references to a minimum, we were still able to have a fun day.

He awoke to a personalized cross-word puzzle. The 28 Years of Justin Malden puzzle included clues and answers ranging from birth to present-day. Making a giant cross-word for the hubs probably makes me a big nerd, but he said it was fun to fill out and I had fun watching him try to figure out some of the tough ones, so I'll embrace my nerd-hood.

We spent the afternoon flying a kite at the beach. The kite flying didn't work out so well, but we aced beach bumming.

No matter the age of this sexy stud, I'll take him!

Bryn's gift to Justin was her first piece of water-color artwork. Lovely, don't you think? She contributed best to the splashing of the water to rinse the paintbrush in and attempts to eat the paint. The other parts of her art received a bit of assistance from Momma.

For dinner we headed into Manhattan for some Indian cuisine. We think one of the best parts about living in a big city is the vast selection of food from all over the world, mm hmm. Our trip to the city was brought to a close with a phone call from the Best Babysitter Ever informing us that Bryn was sick and in need of a little parental lovin'. We hurried home and snuggled our little one for the remainder of the night.

All in all, a good birthday, I'd say. But what do I know? I'm not nearly as close to 30 as Justin is. :)
