I'm late to post again this week, but I am sticking to my resolution to post weekly. I'll give myself credit where it's due—high five, me! We have entered the birthday zone! In the Parker family we have four birthdays smack within just weeks of each other, that means lots of yummy dinners and celebrations. We are going global this year, starting with an Italian dinner, followed by Chinese, ending this coming weekend with Cuban.

The week was mainly a blur of work in the middle with a well-deserved long birthday weekend.

We played a lot of "Stuff on Spencer."

We've been seeing a bit more of Uncle Simon lately, which we all love, especially Lucy.

We got some lovely donations this week from Lucy's teachers and many family members. We are at 45% of our goal! I'll be taking an updated picture today after work.

In preparation for the race I attempted to begin the Couch 2 5K program, but my busted hips and back quickly told me NO. I'm trying to turn that no into a YES by focusing more on walking and maintaining my Fitbit program. I'd love some friends to join me for motivation if you're up for it!

I need to take more, more, more photos. I got a LensBaby for my birthday and I'm very excited to learn how to shoot well with it. More about my birthday later... I've got a list challenge I'm going to torture myself with that I'll share shortly.

I'm currently working on several creative side projects. I'm really excited to share more Martha posts soon as well as some crafts and projects we have brewing!

I hope you had a lovely week.
