Birthday #3, Part 2

I'm finally -- sort of -- getting used to saying I'm forty; I don't think I'll ever feel forty though (whatever that's supposed to feel like) although sometimes when I have to get up, I feel eleventy, especially this week after turning the clocks forward. So, many apologies for the tardiness of finishing up posting the rest of my birthday photos. I got the BEST present, Julie and Céline coming to visit us for a week.

It was so awesome to see the kids playing and laughing together; even though Felix is closer in age to Céline, really it was Ella & Céline together mostly. Ella has been bugging us for a little sister for ages, so this is the closest she's going to get.

The week went by SO fast! We went to the park, went out to dinner at Crazy Tokyo Sushi, had a birthday party for me, visited the Getty and had a farewell ice cream at McDonalds! Mostly it was all about just being together. Julie's blog has already shown many highlights of their visit so I'll include just a few more (it was hard to choose!).
