Daddy's Birthday

Today is Michael’s 24th birthday! We had terrible storms last night that actually woke both of us up around 3:30. Surprisingly, the storms didn’t wake Emma up at all. I put up all the signs I made for Michael and was going to prepare him breakfast, but it was still an hour before he had to get up for work. So I decided against making it at that time. I thought I would just lay in bed and wake up in a little bit to make it, but to my surprise I was out cold. I was so tired that I didn’t even hear the alarm go off. For some strange reason I woke up and it’s a good thing I did or else Michael would have been really late for work. I had baked brownies yesterday so as Michael was getting ready, I added the candles in to sing happy birthday to him. Then he was off to work till lunch time.

Emma was taking her nap up until the point I had to wake her up to give her a bath. She was also hungry so I had to feed her before we could leave to get Michael for his birthday lunch. Let’s just say it took longer than I thought to do this because we ended up picking up Michael about 20 minutes later than I planned on. We were going to go to this one restaurant downtown, but when we got there the hostess said we couldn’t stay there since it was a smoking environment and we had a baby. We ended up going to another restaurant nearby and sitting outside to eat lunch. I was surprised that Michael wanted to do that, but there was a nice breeze that helped keep it cooler.

After lunch, Emma and I went home to take a three hour nap. It was much needed for the both of us. When Michael got home from work, he feed Emma and got her ready to go to the Olive Garden for dinner. We got there around 6:00 PM and had a bit of a wait, but once we were finished and walking to the cars, we noticed how much more crowded it was at that time. It’s a good thing we went when we did. Throughout the dinner, Emma just kept watching the people walk by. I’m glad she didn’t get fussy and need to be held so that Michael and I could enjoy our dinner. When we got home, Michael watched the last game for the Stanely Cup while I took care of Emma. She went down to sleep pretty easy tonight; let’s just hope she stays asleep.
