surprise for mommy

Today started off as a pretty typical Sunday. Daddy-o took the baby for the morning and Mommy went off to do some pilates/yoga. We reunited and prepared for a casual stroll through the Campbell Farmer's Market with H, C and baby P.


It was a glorious morning after the fog burned off. We returned to the house ready to grill with H, C, baby P, L and L. (A clever decoy!)

When Mommy opened the front door she was excited to see 40 of her closest family and friends yelling, "Surprise!"

There were tons of people and even more food. Plenty of Vietnamese and Portuguese culinary treats for everyone to eat like kings and queens. With a large spread of tasty desserts already splayed out, we brought the cake outside to sing Happy Birthday.

It was a great day with family and friends. Many folks pitched in to make it a special day. Before laying Rosie to bed we all just held each other for a moment, thankful for all of our blessings.
