The big 3-0

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30.
I'm still waiting for this to sink in.

The day was rainy, cozy, calm and quietly enchanting. There was no big surprise party, trip across the country or kitchy "30 isn't old if you are a tree" birthday cards. Admittedly, Eric and I are not the best for making celebratory plans and perhaps we should put forth more of an effort, but for yesterday it felt right. I made a point of capturing some of the days moments on Instagram. Yes, you are about to be subjected to photos of hands, food etc. which really aren't all that well composed - but I used a filter so it looks pretty anyway.

A quiet start to the morning. A few minutes of cuddle time prior to the little guys nap time.

Took advantage of nap time to take care of some laundry. You know, I still like seeing the folded piles of little pants and shirts? Keira supervised. With her eyes closed. Tough work being dog.

I alternated between playing with Caleb, folding laundry and cruising Facebook. Lame? Maybe. Peaceful? Absolutely.

Eric even came home early from work. I especially loved this.

Ice cream is a huge hit.

So, do I feel any different today? I'm not sure. I'll get back to you.
