This was the day the whole family had been anxiously waiting for! We are gathering tonight to celebrate Mom's 70th birthday. Mom didn't want a big to-do, so we planned on having a nice family dinner that Cathy put together at Nat's on Maple out in Sycamore. Unbeknownst to Mom, we kids had been working hard over the last 2 months on a big project to honor her on her big day. We reached out to many of her friends and extended family and asked them to submit letters/memories they had of Mom. These memories were turned into a PowerPoint presentation that Dave and I worked on while Karla created a beautiful scrapbook with them. After all of the hard work we put into this project, we couldn't wait to unveil it to Mom!
That morning, Amy and I were furtively gathering last minute family photos for the presentation while Mom was otherwise occupied and the boys played together.
I loved seeing Jerry and Caiden play together. Jerry is almost 2 years older than Caiden, but now that Caiden is walking he and Jerry play pretty well together! And as a bonus for Amy, she didn't have to spend a lot of extra time entertaining Jerry! Woo hoo! Caiden just loves watching older kids, so I am sure he was in his element not only watching Jerry, but getting to play with him too!
