Last night I physically worked non-stop between midnight and 4 am to get the apartment ready for their birthday. The last time I looked at the time was at 5 am. You can imagine how tired I was when my alarm went off at 11:30 am, and I was tired all day long, barely able to keep my eyes open.

I set my alarm this morning, so I'd have enough time to get some "real" food for the kids ready for lunch time at the table, but did not hear it. I only woke up when Randy walked into my room after 12 pm. So I hopped out of bed and quickly peeled a potato, cut it, and microwaved it, to give to them to try.

It was an exciting day today. Ever since moving I've been eager for the five of us to be at our new dining room table, the babies in their high chairs, and to feed them at the same time, and to give them "real" food for them to pick up and put into their mouths. Today I got up earlier, so it was finally time, after our restaurant experience last night, where they had been given bread and potatoes.
