Sunday the day of rest...

Today we celebrated Lyndi's 2nd birthday. It was a delightful day with mostly family. Lila's best friend and her brother Cody came. They are my friend's (Nancy and Kevin) kids. My stepson came with his roommate Austin.
I made chicken tortilla soup, Pete made a great cheese dip and I baked a huge cake with cream cheese icing. We had some good eats today! I may have gained 10 pounds today from cake alone. It turned out really nicely!
Lyndi had a great time and thats what mattered! She played with her cousin Betty Carol. BC drove her around in Lila's Barbie Jeep. What better way to spend your birthday than to be chauffeured around in a Jeep. Mostly though, we ate, had cake and icecream, and opened presents. Lyndi was very impressed with the big girl panties she got from her Nana and Papa!
After the party, Pete's mom and dad helped us cut down a huge red oak that died in our neighbor Ashley's yard. We got 2 and a half truck loads of wood.Then we had to haul off all the branches..talk about back breaking work....
AND THEN IT HAPPENED.......
As Pete and I were unloading the trailer of all the limbs, Pete said "WAIT!!!" As we were about to throw a huge pile of limbs in a ravine on Nancy and Kevin's property, a tree limb caught Pete's nearly $400 Nikon eyeglasses.........
They are never to be found again. So Pete had to make the comment that the amount of wood we got (that we were so proud of) from Ashley's house cost us a cool $380..... thanks for that perspective on it Pete! Yea......
So life goes on I guess. Im really not very happy about the eye glass thing. Of course, it could have been worse...it could have put his eye out! I guess we should just be thankful!
