Friday afternoon we drove to Garland to help celebrate Vivian’s second birthday. We celebrated on Saturday even though her birthday was Sunday. Jill had a kid’s birthday planned Sunday at some place that caters to such things but we had to get home for work on Monday and to attend Rebecca’s birthday party on SA. Kari and Chris had everything set up nicely for the party to be outside and wouldn’t you know it a shower popped up just as the party got going good. That meant moving everything and everyone in the house. In spite of that inconvenience I think the party turned out pretty well. There was still some time to play outside after dinner, presents and cake and the shower, which didn’t amount to more than a wetting, had passed. In spite of the dry weather we’ve had, Kari has managed to get rained out a couple of times this year.
