It’s your birthday in just a few hours, born at 1 am on April 1. The night you were born I had locked myself in the bathroom, feeling a bit miserable, and Dad came tapping on the door around 11 pm. I cracked the door open, “What do you want?” He said, “Are you […]
And that is the end of that. The food was delicious, the company easy-going, just a great Sunday afternoon. Thanks for having us all, and Happy Birthday again, Jay. I love you all, Grandma, aka MOM

Heidi sent a big package of construction paper, so we took inspiration and made some goofy Thanksgiving turkeys–pj’s has eyes with long eyelashes drawn with sparkly crayon. And it’s winter now, at least a month earlier than we expected. Bah. The kids are happy enough about it. We had lunch with my parents and my
Today was her first day of preschool! Yesterday she told me, “Grandma, you’re not going to even see me tomorrow because I will be at PRESCHOOL!” I told her we’d pick her up before lunch, so we’d see each other a little. She LOVED it. Heidi said she told the teachers the child is bad
