Happy (belated) Birthday to Jane - I almost got it on the calendar in time!.

Brendan and I broke up tonight. Please don't call me to talk to me about it or console me... I've been though many breakups before and I will handle this just fine. I really DON'T like talking about it. Though we had, in my mind, an awesome relationship, he told me that he "just wasn't feeling it". And I know (better than most) that you can't make someone feel something they just don't.

Mom... FYI, Jess's Birthday is in November also... the 15th ;)

Thanks to everyone for coming and sharing a wonderful afternoon with us! Time flies when you're surrounded by sooo many friends and family, and I definitely didn't get to visit everyone as much as I would have liked to :) So just many, many thanks to everyone!!!!

Click on Sahara on the calendar if you need an address and map to the party. Isabel and I can't wait. (She is spending the week at Grandma and Grandpa's). Today is bulb planting.

Happy Monday! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend! Thank you to Sahara and Luke for getting married so we have another excuse to get together and have a party!

Fun on the Hudson - The fun started when Mom spotted the Camels on the way to Cairo. Then there was the Applefest pig that jigged to the Macarena. We heard tales from the lady who lived in a lighthouse in the middle of the Hudson, drove to the top of a mountain to see how an artist creates a living landscape, and climbed up to Pratt's rock (Mt. Rushmore wannabe). I think the best pictures, though, are the ones of the pond. On Friday we counted 100 geese and today Mom and I walked through the woods to admire the last colors before we see white.

Happy Anniversary, Ben and Jennifer. What number is this?

Happy Marathoners - 26+ miles and still able to smile.
