birthday fun

thank you to all of you who sent me birthday wishes last week! chris threw a party in our backyard to celebrate on Saturday night, and although it rained partway through, it was so much fun to see old friends and have a chance to catch up. the summer totally got away from us this year, and although we love Fall in Minnesota, we're sad to see the warm weather fade away. here's a shot of Lucy getting ready for party time... :-)
