Yesterday was Allen's 30th birthday.  The big 3-0! We went out for sushi and then to the big Newsboys concert in Quincy, sans Sylvia.  She was going to spend the evening at her great aunt Amy, but she has been going through some pretty big mood swings here lately.  The dr mentioned that he thinks she is going through a normal phase of infancy called "separation anxiety" a little bit earlier than some babies.  We decided it best just to let someone she was already familiar with babysit, so she spent the evening at my mom's house.  The concert was absolutely amazing.  It was a worship concert, how awesome it was to worship with 1500 other people including the legend Michael Tait himself! It was so much fun.  There were three opening bands that were great too.  Here are the links to each bands page: Abandon , Anthem Lights , The City Harmonic , and of course Newsboys . Our seats were so close to the stage and even closer to the cat walk.  It was one of the best shows we have seen. 

We didn't make it to church today because when we got up this morning, Allen could barely move around.  After sushi we went to Culver's for some dessert and Allen turned his ankle over on an uneven part of the the parking lot. Of course, then we were on our feet for most of the show.  So, after sleeping his foot and ankle became very stiff.  He started to feel better later in the day, but is still in a bit of pain.

I bought some bubbles for Sylvia today. She was only slightly interested in them. Just being outside is enough stimulation for her to begin with. 

And last but not least, Caleb came over for dinner tonight, so I made something new I've never made before, chicken pot pie "cupcakes" with mashed potatoes "icing". They were a hit! YUM! Recipe here .
