birthday fun!

i cheated yesterday since i had all of five seconds to post something. but i had been sent my numerology thing so it was fast to copy and paste. on to normal life and reality of a different kind, let's talk birthday week! after the birthday party plans fell through, i was on the fence about what to do/where to plan, etc. i thought it would be a ton of fun to take ARB to the VMT in roanoke. and i was RIGHT! he had so much fun. i can't wait to take him back and do it again. at this age planning over the top can be a little disappointing when looking at his actual happiness versus all of the work. and this took little planning, we got to spend the day together, and he was the HAPPIEST. poor guy didn't want to leave. i hated to make him go, but sometimes a mom's gotta follow a schedule.

so hopefully the link lines up with pictures from the train museum. i'll try to load another post with the link to the Parkway the day before. my memories of the roost involve 1st love, rock climbing, freshman prom, and all sorts of good things. it's a place that makes me happy, makes me smile. i'm glad ashton had so much fun up there. and i'll be taking him up on the mountain as much as i can while it's still open until winter! and i can't believe in four weeks we'll be doing our annual thanksgiving hike!!! WOW.

gratitude:

- compliments

- appliances when they work

- the women in my family
