Happy Birthday to Me
Here it is my thirtysomethingth birthday and I’m back at work after a quick vacation in the country. babygirl loved our visit to the farm, but my camera ran out of batteries so you will not be subjected to painfully cute pictures of her chasing chickens. She didn’t catch any.
We also visited with old friends and new babies. babygirl made many friends. I had to promise her we would go back so it looks like another plane ride is in the works for August.
Two recommendations when flying with a two year old. Bring lollipops. Do not run out of wipes.

Happy 30-some Birthday She!!!
Glad you, Topspun, and babygirl had a much deserved vacation… and…plenty of wipes… good to know.
oops, I wasn’t reading carefully… as usual… cuz I see that Topspun has yet to experience a true vacation following his first year as a bonafied prof. (and by “true,” I mean idyllic and pastoral, not sitting in one’s underwear before Sports Center… hold on… on second thought…)
