Yesterday, my Jules turned 30 making me officially older than anyone I blog with! (except Max!) She celebrated for several days. (ok, maybe 2) Here are a few little known things about my Jules: she was affectionately called "Magpie" by Grandpa Blair because she was a non-stop FAST talker when she was little. She loved to show her Sunday School teacher her new panties, and she had trouble saying her r's. We just thought she was from the south when she said "Can I wear my shotes (shorts) today Mom"? She gets excited about things like new shoes; she likes to admire them all the way home from the store. She also gets excited for trips and stuff, just like her mom. (Which is why I'm writing this at 5:30 a.m. 5 days before we head for Mexico.) She is an affectionate, loving daughter, friend, cousin, aunt and sister - which you probably already know, AND WE ALL LOVE HER A LOT!

Yesterday I visited Michelle and Delilah. I got to hold and snuggle her (Delilah, not Michelle) and satisfy my grandbaby fix at least for a while. I'm hopefully posting a few pictures from our trip last week. I just LOVED driving through 15 MILES of AMAZING tulips and daffodils at the Skagit County Tulips Festival. And this is Multnomah Falls, the waterfall Carl and I climbed to the top of. It is not King's Peak, but then I am not a hiker either.
