Today Erin is 7 years old. Wow. She's the Queen of the World today. Actually she's running around the house with a cat and a blob of pink play-dough--- I hope it's play-dough and not gum. Tonight we will celebrate with a party at the Zone where she and her friends and siblings can bounce to their hearts' content on giant inflatables. Then we will feed them all pizza and cake and send them home sugared-up with play-dough.
Mom and Dad are here so we drove to Arlington to visit my Grandma Pat (Dad's mom) and Uncle John Hayden (Dad's uncle). We had lunch and took pictures with scare crows. We hit Bass Pro Shops and headed home to pick up the kids as they get out of school. Now the party favors are stuffed, and we have to go pick up a neon pink 3-D Barbie cake before meeting Miss Erin's guests.
I realized today that this is not only Erin's 7th birthday, but it is also the 7th year we will celebrate with the Reeces. That's almost as much of a "Wow." as Libby turning 7! Here's to long-time friends in our transient world.
