So despite the treadmill fiasco, I did have an excellent birthday, and I wanted to show off some of my great gifts… have I mentioned how much I love gifts? And lucky for me, I have some extremely generous family members. So, I took some pictures for you all. Enjoy my ridiculousness.

Ok, so Cory’s sister Kimmy gave me some really good fall-ish smelling hand soap and lotion, my parents gave me a laptop cooler thing (my mom is going to pass her old compy on to me when she gets her new one… isn’t that so nice of her!?!) and my sweet neighbor Catherine baked me some really yummy chocolate cookies. 

Cory always does such a great job picking out gifts–he gave me these two shirts that Hazel is modeling, and this really great new diaper bag, which I love.

My Grandma Wilde was apparently listening when I mentioned to her that I’d like to get a wagon instead of a double stroller, because it just seemed like more fun, and it is!  She gave me a brand new Red Flyer Wagon!  It’s the ATW–All Terrain Wagon, so it has to cool big “air wheels,” and it’s 1.5x as deep as the original… so great for keeping those kids inside!  We took her on her maiden voyage on Wednesday, and it was fantastic.  We threw a pillow in the back and sat Janey up against that, then had Breanne sit in the front.  (We only had one mishap when I stopped a little suddenly and Breanne head-butted Janey in the face… but we’ve learned our lesson from that, and will be sitting better in the future… )
