The party was a huge success and a good time was had by all. We got to show the house off a bit and play with a bunch of great kids at the same time.
The tricycle was a huge success and she obviously loves it even though her legs don’t reach the pedals when [...]

Today we are having Emily’s birthday party. I’m enjoying a few moments of quiet before things start to hop around here. I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but I think we have about 8 confirmed children guests coming so I’m sure that by 2 p.m. this place will be a madhouse.

I talked to a couple of old friends yesterday, whom I hadn’t spoken to for years (7 or 8). They were my OTs (orientation t-somethingIcan’tremember) when I went to Kentucky to learn automotive repair.
