Washed and separated
Bottled for everlasting deliciousnessI love this season. The aura in the air of concord grapes plumping up on the vine in the back yard. We bottled 17 jars of sugar-free, 100% natural no added ingredients grape juice.

WRAP IT UP AND PUT A BOW ON IT!
TODAY WAS PERFECTION.
Last night Kday and I supported our favorite MLS team, REAL Salt Lake, as they took the W over the NY Red Bulls.
This morning Kday willingly snuck out of bed before I could rouse to hear the Lady crying for breakfast. By the time I was alert and oriented to the beautiful sun sneaking through the window, I had a freshly fed and bathed baby handed to me in bed. For a few minutes I snuggled my best birthday gift ever and then landed my feet on the wood floor and off we went. Kday informed me of a 9:00 am massage appointment and when I asked who would be watching the Lady, I learned that we got to spend my birthday together. All my birthday wishes came true. A day with Lady and Kday, no work... just play.
Breakfast smoothies prepared by Kday
Short meeting with our Attorney to complete paperwork needed to file for Finalization date.
Lunch Date at Finns. Omelette with sausage, tomato, cheese, and onion with toasted sourdough and fresh hash-browns.
My first birthday card from my daughter.
And the WORLDS Greatest chocolate cake and FAMILY
Lady slept through it all.

When the cat's away....
The mice will play... As the saying goes.
This is what Kday did while I filled in at work the other morning. Don't be alarmed if you you fall off your chair laughing, the first time I saw it I did. And yes, she's on top of the stove. Don't worry, I reviewed my safety concerns with him :)
I've never known a child so young to already be so embarrassed by her father. I think she kinda liked it though:)

Camping in a Rocking Chair
Today was one of those days that I looked around me and felt disgusted in the filthy state that my home was in. I haven't cleaned since before our vacation last weekend and then with the "grand theft auto" incident, we've been a little busy. I was ready to don my cleaning attire and get busy putting in some serious elbow grease when Lady began to scream.
The poor dear is battling an ear infection and wouldn't settle down unless constantly perched on my chest while I sang to her and rocked her. I decided to be OK with that. Instead of laying her down and trying in frustration to clean the house between crying fits, I decided instead to slide the rocking chair into the living room and sit. And rock. We rocked all day. My mom (Miss Mary) stopped by for a few minutes to provide enough respite that I could shower and vacuum up the piles of dog hair on the hardwood floors. And then we continued to rock.
I never imagined anything better then spending an entire day cleaning. And then Lady needing me to be a loving mom to cradle and rock her came along. So much better.
P.S. Looking foreword to my birthday and as a shout out to Kday... looking foreword to that gift card to that certain store.....**** Starts with a Office and end with a word that rhymes with Packs :)
