As a sharp contrast to my last birthday in which I spent it across the country in Seattle working on the Safeco website, this birthday is more relaxing and enjoyable as I get to take the day off and spend it at home with Lori and Rebecca. I took a short break to play 9 holes at a nearby course (very windy but overall a solid round) as Mom and daughter slept. Now I'm planning on resting a bit with Little Miss Sleeps-a-Lot and then going and getting the kids from daycare. Tonight we'll probably head out for our first 5-person family dinner at Mike's Great American restaurant. After getting back and putting the kids to bed I'll need to straighten up the joint, watch some birthday Survivor and get ready for Lori's parents to arrive late-night tonight. The Gecik cavalry will arrive bearing food and assistance around the house. They are always very welcome guests but especially more so during the time after a birth. I'm sure Nonna is very eager to see her first granddaughter.
Since the Geciks will be in town for at least a week, I'll get back to normal workday life tomorrow and all next week. It was nice to enjoy a few days off and I really feel fortunate to have a healthy and happy family (well mostly happy as Alex is increasingly protesting his trips to daycare each day). Thanks to all for the birthday wishes today. It seems that birthdays become more important/celebrated in the Facebook/Twitter age. And remember, 34 is the new 24. Believethat!

I'd like to wish my "baby" a happy 34th birthday! I love you!
I was totally going to ask you on FB whether Lori was letting you go golfing but then thought, probably not. I should have known better. :)
Happy Birthday, Jordan! A fabulous week of birthdays for the Rose family!
