Yesterday marked the beginning of the McNamee parents birthday season.
I had a birthday.
Monday, Dave will have his.
I’m glad that birthdays are magical and a big deal as a kid, because they sure become just another day when you put on the years.
My birthday was spent pregnant, caring for kids with the stomach flu, and with roofers tearing apart my roof – what every girl wants, right?
Luckily my knight in shining armor (AKA Dave) took me to dinner and ran errands without complaining 
!
(BTW-that IS the best present ever. Being able to run errands without kids)
Plus, it’s always fun to hear from and spend time with friends and family.
Apparently, we are celebrating my birthday next week and it will not happen in the state of Utah or with kids . . . .
Dave is so good at making things special, so I hope I can do his big day justice.
As great as birthdays are, it is nice when this phase is over and there is no more shopping!!
