Happy Birthday Joe!

Happy Birthday Love!

Today is Joe's birthday. He is a whole 29 years old. What an old man! :o)

For some reason birthdays get a bit less exciting the older you get, so we didn't do anything too spectacular. In the morning Joe and I got to go on a 20 mile bike ride. It was fun to get to go with him, even if we got rained on!

Then Joe cleaned up our bikes while I watched the boys and cleaned up. Later in the afternoon we cut Ephraim's nap short and went shopping. We bought Joe a long sleeved undershirt for cycling in cooler weather. We have also ordered him a pair of bib shorts for cycling that should arrive next week.

We had fun shopping, and went and found some membrillo like Joe had when he was in Uruguay. It was interesting to go into the South American market stores and see what kind of products they had. Now I just need to find the right kind of cheese and crackers and we can give in a try.

When we got home I made us steaks for dinner. They turned out yummy! We also had some Guarana to drink (South American soda), and it was delicious. Then we put the boys to bed and spent some time together. It may not have been a terrifically exciting day, but I think it was pretty nice.

We love you tons and bunches Joe and hope you have a happy year!
