Turning 27!

Berries!!

So, I know my birthday was like more than 3 weeks ago, but I figured I'd share.

The saturday of my birthday weekend Nick, Susie, and I went strawberry picking at a local U-Pick place. Who knew they had those in Boston? We had a blast. I may have eaten more than I picked, and I even ate a couple green ones (that's an inside VB family thing). In total we picked over 8 lbs of berries. Fabulous!

We then had a nice lunch and I came home and promptly froze about half of the strawberries.

On my actual birthday, Sunday, we had a nice relaxing day. Susie came over for dinner and brought over a beautiful wacky cake. (Note: Wacky cake is a family recipe that is actually a vegan cake, no eggs, no butter...but it does have vinegar. Its the best chocolate cake ever!) She actually put little frosting strawberries all over it (and it even had an A on it). The berries even had seeds on them! It was quite a cake. Unfortunately she took a few turns too hard driving over and some of the frosting slid so it wasn't perfect when she arrived. However, personally, I think it was her best cake to date!

Ann & Nick, thanks so much for sharing your adventures! It sounds like you are both doing great in Boston, and your trip to Spain sounds wonderful! If you are wondering about life with 2.5 kiddos, you can check out our blog - not as exciting as yours, I am sure. :)
