Happy Birthday! I Got a New Car!
It’s not my birthday for another 25 days but it was time for a new car.

A Visit to the Rochester Museum & Science Center and Strasenburgh Planetarium
Today is my firstborn’s 11th birthday so I first want to wish a very happy day to Archie as he embarks on the next year of of his beautiful life. We are having his birthday party next weekend, however, due to some scheduling conflicts. He decided on a party at Escape the Mystery Room followed by pizza and cake at our house which keeps it super simple for me.
