I've waited for 40 years for this!!

It's my birthday today!!! My 40th, to be exact.  I'm feeling like it's going to turn out to be a great day. 

Here's what I found on our front porch early this morning.

A little gift from my folks.


Eine kleine Wollmeise in "Poison".  First down, many more skeins to go!

Thanks mom and dad!

Also? I've been watching the World Lacrosse matches this week - a couple of my favorite matches have been the Netherlands and Wales. I don't think Iceland has a team yet.

Dear Randi,
Maddý told me that you have 40-years Birthday. I wish you a happy birthday and congratulations from Iceland. Maddý and Örn visit us tonight and we had lot of fun with them. Maddý played piano for us. We hope to meet them again while they are in Iceland. Hope that your birthday was fun. Hopefully we meet soon, whether it is in Iceland or in Minneapolis.
Love to you and your family,
With Best wishes from Iceland, Idda

Happy, happy birthday! Those are some quality parents you have. What a great gift. My birthday is on Friday, but I'm on the other end of the 40s. I'll be turning 48. The 40s were pretty great for me overall. Hope they are for you too!
