Don had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and we celebrated by going kayaking in Manly Cove, the ocean nearest to our house. I thought I was decently strong until that day. Don was very good and rowed almost the entire time. I, on the other hand, took several breaks. Occasionally I would tell Don to take a break and I would take over. I was disappointed when I was rowing and our kayak wasn't even moving. All I could do was break even with the ocean current and the wind. Then Don would start in again, and we cruised forward. He is amazing, but I already knew that!
The little secluded beach we rowed to. We stayed here for a while and swam around. The first time I've actually swam in the water here, because we didn't have any kids with us to take care of!!
My love note to Don.
We went out to eat afterwards to a little Thai place near our house. Don and I have eaten a lot of Thai, and this was hands down the best. Gourmet. Everything was delicious.

When Don gets the boys dressed in pj's he occasionally likes to have a little fun. I think he thinks he is entitled to this as a parent. :)

LOVE pictures and videos and I watch them many times. Love the picture of the boys helping Don unwrap his presents. Soren really kills me...he is looking so much more like a toddler...losing some of that baby pudge....

Hey there friends! I was on Bergens blog... or someones, and saw you had written a comment. I had to check out the blog! Sounds like things are going great for you. I can't believe you have three kids now! Where are you living now?
