the birthday

well, the birthday was great! i can't believe i'm 24 years old. it still feels like i'm 21. age is an interesting thing.

we had ordered harry potter 7 from amazon.com who guaranteed delivery on the 21st. it ended up coming in our mail at about 11a - not too bad!


when we got it in the mail.

waiting for us to read it. i was waiting for spencer to come back.

here we are with our new copy of harry potter and the deathly hallows! (i had just taken a shower before it came - hence the wet hair...)

you don't have to worry that benny got neglected that day - even if we had wanted to, he wouldn't have let us - he did not go down for a nap until 4:40p because he didn't act tired all day! he had a lot of fun playing with both mommy and daddy in the room. he even got a bath that day! we took a little time out when we both spent some time on the floor playing with benny. it was really fun!

benny was having a great time with daddy and the easter eggs.


well, again, the birthday was great as was harry potter. we spent most of time reading that day. we went to sonic for lunch (i read in the car out loud on the way there and back) and had average burgers. it was so hot we had to come back home to eat.

we kept reading and went out to dinner at tepanyaki - a japanese grill. that was fun! then we came back home and stayed up way too late reading. if you ask nicely we might tell you...

just so you know, we did go to all three hours of church on sunday and we didn't have to stay up nearly as late to finish the book. we were done about 9p on sunday, 22 july, and boy was it great! i have been thinking that the harry potter series is - in a way - similar to c.s. lewis' chronicles of narnia or j.r.r. tolkien's lord of the rings. it's amazing to look at the world created by j.k. rowling (pronounced rolling) and to see how complete it is. what amazes me the most is that all my questions were answered with book 7, but i'm sure we'll both read the series again (probably not as quickly as we did this last time). i look forward to reading these books to our kids.

hope you have a chance to read the harry potter series if you haven't already!
