My Happy Birthday!

I had the best birthday yesterday! Both of my girls slept well past 9... something that has NEVER happened before! I finally heard Mackenzie stir around 9:15 and I woke up (yes, I allowed myself to stay in bed past 9 too... it was my birthday after all and I was up until 2 a.m. reading a really good book!) and snuggled and nursed Aubrey in bed while my mom got Mackenzie up and made blueberry pancakes together with her to bring down to me in bed!!! Yes, I got breakfast in bed on my 26th birthday!! It was a tradition that my mom started with me when I was 3... 23 years later and it's still going strong! (We had discussed it the night before and I told her I was all for it!)

After I had my wonderful breakfast in bed, we all hoped in my mom's van and went to Chic Fil A to get our free breakfast sandwhiches so we could eat them for lunch! We came home and the girls and I went to our new friends' house around the corner. We had met this family at church on Sunday and they came to caregroup the night before. They just moved here last month and they have two little girls almost exactly our girls ages! So we had a nice time of fellowship with them and then came home for naps and I got to lay out in the sun and read more of my captivating book ("The Atonement Child" by Francine Rivers)... I'm telling you, the day couldn't have been better!

Then Jake came home at a decent time and we took the girls over to the Palmer's house. (Lauri and I actually share a birthday and we shared the same due date for Aubrey and Madison!) They babysat for us so we could go out to dinner before we went to see Andy's play last night (yes, he was in another one! Beauty and the Beast this time... he was the Beast!) Tonight we're babysitting for them so they can go out for her birthday... they were so kind to let us go out on the actual day! Mackenzie loves Mr. Palmer and follows him around the house saying "Palma, Palma"... it's really cute!

It was a super wonderful birthday... I'll always remember my 26th birthday as the birthday God let my kids sleep in for!

About Me

My photo
I am a sinner saved by grace and I married my best friend, Jake, in May 2005! God has blessed us with three adorable little girls that we get to raise together in a beautiful home in the most charming neighborhood in America! They are a joy to raise and continually make us aware of our need for a Savior! We are thankful the Lord did not leave us in our sin, but sent His Son Jesus to die in our place, bearing the just wrath of God that we deserved, and giving to us Christ's righteousness instead. Through His grace and forgiveness, we now are free to love Him who saved us and to extend the mercy we've been shown to each other. We pray our little ones will come to know Christ and that we will be faithful to proclaim the good news of Jesus to them not only with our words, but with our actions and our interactions with each other. So please enjoy reading about the Moon family, we're so glad you stopped by!
