Despite all my previous belly-aching, Eva and friend took on another at-home craft project. Eva had her friend Kenna over for the night Friday night (1/15). Kenna's mom gave birth to a baby boy Joshua Aaron 1/12 and the girls (2 girls are better than 3 for play date!?!) built mobiles for their baby brothers. Justin picked his brave sister, Juliet, up from the Butte Greyhound station at 1 am. Saturday 1/16 the girls had morning basketball practice and then took Kenna home.
Saturday brought family outing to Boze-angeles to introduce Juliet to Plonk! the wine bar and to purchase our new family pets--Goldfish!!
Sunday was brunch at the Old Hotel and then soaking in Norris. Monday was the big day and boy did we girls work hard getting things ready for the middle-aged birthday boy! Luckily, Eva had the day from school (MLK day) and could help Juliet and I with preparations. I cleaned house while Joules made some wonderful vittels (sp?).
Robert and Leslie joined our birthday celebration. Benjamin did not enjoy our singing: it made him scream from fear.
It was a great time having Juliet visit, and even though we miss her greatly, we get to enjoy her beautiful artwork left on our chalkboard sign out front.
A picture of "Cheeks" and "Tonga", happy in their new home.
The second and third graders played during halftime of a girls' varsity game Friday night. Eva is a natural athlete and will be an amazing basketball player once she figures out the finer points of the game. Highlights for the fans: Eva stealing the ball from her own teammate and running with the ball! She did make an amazing steal from the white team at the beginning of the game and even got a shot off. We look forward to following her athletic career!
