Shannon's World

I had a pretty crappy day – compared to 99% of the world it wasn’t too bad, but for me personally it was just a hard one today. Things started looking up tremendously in the afternoon thanks to:

- Our neighbor’s bounce house that they rented for a birthday party. Libby was hitting volumes I’ve never quite heard her little voice reach before because she was so excited. She’s such a good girl – didn’t complain once when we had to get out for dinner or to go to bed.

- Mike brought home healthy (?) organic pop tarts for me – what a treat!

- two brand new packages of sharpies….pure joy!

- a quick run and bike ride while Mike watched Libby bounce (honestly, the girl bounced for AT LEAST a hour after dinner and a good 20 minutes before we ate!)

- friends coming over for a quick visit with their new puppy, Penny, and a new toy Yoda for Libby. Once again Libby could hardly contain her excitement – it was really too much for her: a bounce house, birthday cake, a 4 lb puppy AND a new Yoda toy? What else does a girl need? Kinda puts things in perspective.
