Yes, Tom and I are in the same decade now. He threw me a 40th birthday party at Souplantation...genius inspiration on his part to have it at that restaurant, by the way: there is food for everyone, including the kids, and it suits people arriving at different times and kids being noisy. Thanks to everyone who joined us in the celebration: I feel duly feted. Here's a picture after the men and women had separated into groups (another good thing about the restaurant: you don't feel like you need to stay in one place because you're getting up and down to get more food anyway!)I think this momentous date arrived without much anticipation on my part because I was anticipating GIVING birth. My only sadness at being 40 is that this is my first birthday without the one who gave birth to me, my mom. I miss you, Mom, but I know you're in a better and easier place now.
When my birthday arrived (not on the date of the party), Lukas had a hard time understanding: "We already had your birthday, Mom!" After he understood, he just wanted more cake.
