Birthday

Well, I made it. I have been a tad discomforted in my 57th year on earth. My Mom, my grandmother, and my mother-in-law all passed away at 57. I was afraid I would inherit the curse. However, my birthday was yesterday, and I am very Happy to announce that I am 58 years old. Celebrated on Saturday with a trip to Richard Chilress Winery, my new favorite place. My sister and I like it for the beauty of the grounds, the atmosphere, the food, and of course the wine! It is also only 30 minutes from her daughter's house, so it gives Sarah a chance to meet us for lunch with the baby, or for us to swing by for a quick visit.
Aidan is now6 months old, and so cute! He is trying to crawl, and is almost there. I wonder how time goes so fast. It seems like yesterday I was sitting on the floor with Casey saying "Come on, you can do it" " Crawl to Mommy", and now she's 27 years old with her own house and a great career. It flashes by in the blink of an eye!
Yesterday, Mike and I drove to Boone to take the rest of Ashley's stuff. She had a full car load! Ate lunch with her, and Mike put her new futon together, so I got to see my girls over the weekend. Missed seeing Michael, but he was busy breaking into his room at State. Left his key in his room, and had to break a window to get back in. this year should be a real growth year for him, living on his own, and navigating the waters of adulthood. I'm sure he'll do fine. Mike and I will be there saying "Come on, you can do it!"
