March 10

Today is Adam's 45th birthday.

The celebration truly started last night when Isaac and Abby both got to work on their gifts; while Abby poured over thousands of old photos to find the perfect picks for her big cork board collage, Isaac hit the kitchen to bake and decorate sugar cookies. (He even left a big cookie at Adam's desk with a hand-drawn happy birthday note. And he cleaned up the kitchen and the table. It was awe-inspiring.)

Today the boys had school and Adam had work, of course, but we celebrated in the evening with Mountain Mike's pizza for dinner, presents, a viewing of Top Gun: Maverick, and spice cake with cream cheese frosting (baked and decorated by Abby, frosted and lit ablaze by me). 

It was, I think, a very nice day. I hope Adam felt appreciated and loved, because he most certainly is. He's a very good man with an amazing heart, that husband of mine, and I am so grateful for him and for this amazing family we've built. Happy birthday, hunny!
