Another Year Older

Josh's birthday was yesterday. Since he had to work all day, we just had a low key celebration at home in the evening. He asked for homemade pizza and blackberry cobbler, so that's what he got. Eli and I actually surprised him on his gift this year. That's a first! Josh loves spoiling surprises. He usually guesses and takes all the fun out of it, but not this year.

We also celebrated with him on Saturday morning by going to the downtown Aquarium. It was Shark Weekend, and we thought Eli would enjoy it. We're not really sure what was so "shark weekend" about it (we went once before Eli was born, and it seemed to be the same), but it was still fun. Eli really enjoyed the train and the sharks, but we discovered he's more like his mommy than his daddy when it comes to heights. I went on the Ferris Wheel for Josh's sake, but it's not really my thing (though I did surprisingly well on it this time). We thought Eli would enjoy it, but apparently, it's not really his thing either. He kept saying, "done, done," and he looked like he was going to throw up. Josh keeps saying he's going to raise his kids to do the adventurous things with him since I don't like to do them, but maybe they'll end up being more like me. Poor Josh! ;-) Happy Birthday anyway. We love you!
