Lisa turns 27

This birthday was certainly different, but by far the most meaningful one I have celebrated yet. I felt so much gratitude toward my parents for having and raising me - a perspective that I've never quite had before. Its amazing to realize how they poured over me and met my every need just as Dustin and I are doing these days for Ila. Such a beautiful cycle.

The birthday week started with Dustin taking me out on a big hot date Saturday night to City House while Mom kept Ila. Then Dustin was in New Mexico for a few days, so Mom came to stay with us. Mom watched Ila as I got a massage that morning and then took us to lunch at the swanky Hutton Hotel on West End. Ila just so happened to be ultra-cute that day!




Then Mom made red velvet cupcakes...



And Dad came in town later that week and Dustin came back and we celebrated with BBQ.

Thanks to friends and family for all the kind birthday wishes and gifts!
