Happy Birthday David!

Yesterday was David's 37th birthday, so the day was spent celebrating and really just relaxing. For his birthday, David had asked for a new pillow and something fun. So, a pillow he got (plus a pillow cover) and a Kelty baby backpack so we can try and go hiking with Drake. The instructions say that the baby needs to be sitting up before the backpack is used, so we are going to have to wait a little longer...maybe just a few weeks.

We did take Drake swimming for the first time yesterday. Any of you familiar with Clemson know that there are no public pools around here, so I have been trying to figure out where we could have this adventure for some time. Late last week I decided that we were just going to go to an apartment complex and hope no one asked us where we live. As soon as I had made that decision, one of my co-workers moved into the very complex I had planned to use, so now we had an apartment number to give!

When David went to put on his bathing suit, he realized that he no longer had a bathing suit (I believe there was a tearing incident last summer sliding down a dam at the lake). 

 After swimming, Drake was pretty tried so the rest of the day was just hanging out and a birthday dinner.

Drake loves his Alice (and if you knew what her breath smelled like, you would know this is love!)
