Wrapping up my birthday week

We had a very nice dinner at our house, again celebrating my 40th. This was my immediate family less one sister (we missed you Chrissy). It was nice and very laid back. Thanks to everyone who brought me something - you didn't have to, but it was much appreciated (consider this your thank you note!) It's nice to see that Maureen and her cousin Claire are starting to interact more. Here's a video showing them using our footstool in a new way.

Saturday we went to Mo's cousin A's first communion and party - A presented a welcoming message to the congregation that was really nicely done - she had her bit memorized, projected well, and made great eye contact. She has a future in Public Speaking for sure!

We also went to another party later Saturday in the evening with friends. I will probably have some photos to post from that party.
