Happy Birthday!
deep breath…. what a year….
hi all, what a weekend! We had a blast! last night was much merriement here at our place with 6 of our closest friends, a pizza, wings and mussels party. beer was growlers filled with the beer from a local fine dining brew pub, and cake was a triple layer (two chocolate, one vanilla) with buttercream frosting made by mommy, pizza was by mommy too. eric made one batch of mussels and our friend holly made another. max loved it!
today after our fog cleared, we ate lunch at the farmer’s market… then began putting up our christmas decorations, we have to be ready to go the saturday after thanksgiving. we’re behind compared to others on our street, we could use our cousin robert’s help!
and finally for dinner, we took max to a very great french restaurant. we are stuffed! he did fabulous and impressed his fellow diners with his wondeful behavior and his candle in the pot de creme 
what a good baby we have!
so we wind down this birthday weekend, eric needed to go get some fresh air and walk a bit of his dinner off. we’ll sleep well tonight. our savings account took a good whopping this week, but it felt great, thanks to the encouragement from cousin deidre and my mother… I won’t look back! And hopefully I won’t keep getting cancelled at work!
We see our good friend, Dr Ganunis tomorrow for Max’s one year check-up. Only two more well child visits with him, we will miss him dearly. Thank God we had the opportunity to have such an excellent pediatrician for our first. Let’s hope tomorrow’s shots are only a minor inconvenience for him.
Much love,
Lisa
