Thirty-Seven

We headed to the zoo to celebrate my birthday today. It was sunny and in the low 50s - a perfect April morning to be outside!

It wasn't too busy, so we were able to spend a lot of time with the gorillas. A mommy gorilla sat with her back against the glass right in front of the kids.

And the baby ran around.

Then she cuddled up in a corner with her blanket and Silas got up close.

Everyone was exhausted after a 2-hour long visit. We got home and found the most lovely surprise from Julia. She dropped off a card, a bouquet of flowers and a cake from my favorite local bakery!

I put the kids down for a long nap and Derek made us flank steak fajitas.

Thirty-seven is starting off pretty darn good.
