whew - it's over

What a weekend! I was genuinely looking forward to celebrating Brett's birthday with all of our family and friends. I'd ordered all the food and done all of the decorations and everything else so that I wouldn't be running around like a crazy person the day of the party. It all payed off... I ended up in the ER the morning of the party! My doctor thought I might have appendicitis. Luckily, he was wrong. After a morning full of tests and stuff, Todd & I got back from the ER around 1:30 that afternoon - just enough time to get showered and finish doing all of the last minute stuff. Thank God for family! Between my parents & Renee they had almost everything ready to go by the time we got there.

The party went nearly 100% smooth - as smooth as a house full of toddlers on a 90 degree day can go! I think all of the kids had a great time. We know that our kids did - they were both exhausted - a sure sign of a good party! Thanks to all those who came over that day to celebrate with us - we hope you had a good time too!
