34

Due to all the recent traveling and meeting new people, my introverted husband didn't want a party this year.* So I cooked him his favorite meals for dinner for the week preceding his actual birthday, and then we had his best friend and family over for wings and cake on his birthday eve.

For N's actual birthday, B slept in (which meant so did we!). After a slow breakfast, we headed downtown and poked about at the farmers' market. We found fresh summer corn (yum!). We ate lunch out at TGI Friday's, which seems to be a foolproof eating out location for B. He has yet to get squirmy and discontent when we're there, and he just loves socializing with the wait staff. We don't know what it is, but we like it!

We came home and took long naps, and then went out to our new favorite local barbecue place for burgers and ice cream.

*Which I later realized was just as well, because the worship pastor at our church has the same birthday. He turned 40 and apparently had a big party, and since we have some mutual friends, that wouldn't have worked out well.
