you know the old latin quote, "good, better, best. never let it rest. 'til your good is better and your better is best," well, today was allen's 30th birthday...and the weekend just got better and better as it went on. we celebrated our most favorite way....with our family and friends.we have been in north carolina for the weekend (go tar heels), sans kids, and it was a treat. we missed our two girls while we were away but we enjoyed some 'us' time too. it's amazing how we've forgotten our love for sitting and enjoying a good meal and quality conversation. not that we don't get solid QT back at home...it's just normally interupted by "umm, hey mommy, umm, daddy." you know what i mean - you've been there.
anyway, our flight returned and we were greeted by sleepy eyes and sticky fingers - two girls very happy to see their mommy and daddy. after naptime (for all of us) at nana and pops i managed to get allen to go to dreamland for his birthday dinner...he claims he had no idea that i had a room full of people there...and i really don't think he knew. i have no pictures to prove that the night took place, i took too many over the weekend, so instead i have a great picture of us in front of The Chapel at Duke (look very closely...we're there).
allen and i left tonight and he gave his most sincere thanks to me and the girls and he told me that all of his favorite people were there tonight. so, if you played a part, know that you're loved!
