My Birthday is Tomorrow!

My birthday is tomorrow, my birthday is tomorrow!! I am kind of like a kid when it comes to my birthday. I am still at that point in my life where getting older is not too much of a big deal yet. After all, even though I am *only* going to be 24 I think having three kids at this age would make anyone feel older! So I know that I am young still. But I can already feel this is only going to last a few more years before I start getting depressed about the day. I just loving having the one day out of the year that is MINE, my special day. I am not sure what we'll do yet, go out for dinner somewhere so I don't have to cook. And I got a grasshopper pie from Baskin Robbins, yum! Can't wait to eat that, I know Calli is looking forward to it too.

So Serena has been taking a few steps. I don't know if they really count, but she is getting closer to walking. We have two couches, about two feet apart from each other in one spot. She wanted to get from one to the other so she let go of the first couch, took a step and flung herself toward the opposite couch and managed to stay on her feet. Here and there she has been taking a step unassisted and yesterday while I was cooking dinner Richard said she took three. We are getting closer!

Yesterday was a pretty nice day, around 60 degrees. Not too hot and not too cold. So I took the kids to the park. Calli has learned how to ride her "big girl bike". She finally mastered her tricycle about a month or two ago and went straight from that to being able to ride her two wheel bike with training wheels. She does really well with it and I can't believe how grown up she looks on it. Yesterday we also went to the DMV because my California license is set to expire tomorrow. I remember going to get that particular license when I was 18 in 2003. I had to take a written test over because I had been in an accident two years before. I passed of course and received this license that was good for six years. 2009 seemed SO far away. When we moved to Texas in 2005 I didn't want to give up my California license. It was all I had left of my "home" and I wasn't ready to give it up. Four years seemed still so far away. But here it is, 2009 and I had no choice but to give up my expiring license for a Texas one. I will receive it in the mail in a few weeks I guess and I didn't even get to keep my CA one. I guess they have to mail them back in. How depressing. I won't ever call myself a Texan, but I am stripped of my last possession that made me a Californian.

My birthday is tomorrow, my birthday is tomorrow!
