On my husband's side of the family, December and early January are birthday months! Both my husband and mother in law have their birthdays in early January just a few days apart. This year was a big one for my MIL. Therefore, my FIL did a wonderful job of planning a surprise dinner & birthday party for her at a restaurant in town. From what I understand, she was completely surprised! My husband and youngest son were there to help celebrate! My MIL is a very special, dear person and she has one of the most service and people oriented hearts of anyone I've ever met. We are all so glad she had a wonderful birthday. Love you Grammy! (sorry that the pictures don't capture the event very well. My husband was trying to take pictures while chasing a 16 month old - not an easy job!)
The kids & I threw a little birthday party for my husband at our favorite local restaurant. We also got him a new ipod shuffle and a few other smaller items.
The university rapidly came to life this week. The empty parking lots are filled and the quiet hallways are bustling and noisy again. I have to say, I love it! Juggling work into caring for my family is not always easy; however, at the end of the day, I wouldn't change it. There is never a dull moment for faculty and every day brings new opportunities for collaboration, teaching innovation, and service. I'm so lucky to work there.
