Birthday Summation

So we celebrated Katey's 38th birthday yesterday.  She has grown into a remarkable young woman.  I am very proud of her and her accomplishments.  This was never a person that waited.  After the our first child was born, all the rest were scheduled C-Sections.  So doctors traced the timetable for each pregnancy and announced the day the child would be born.  With her, we went to Hutzel Hospital for a regular checkup near the end of the gestation period.  The doctor came out and said that today, in fact right now she was going to greet the world.  But, but we said we had all the child care for the boys all planned out and grand parents would be there in a week.  All the planning was for naught, because today was the day.  We farmed out the boys to neighbors and it worked out with Nanny and Poppy arriving a week later.  No waiting for her.

The day went well with a lunch at Renshaw's, a bird feeding expedition for she and Judy at Kensington.  I baked a cake, with moderate success.  The appearance of the final product was not stellar.  Envision a brown mound with candles. But the flavor was good.  We had lots of laughs at Andrew and Stephanie's mostly at my expense for the cake.  So this crowd is loud with Katey, Andrew and Judy leading the charge.  My new daughter in law and me mostly listened and nodded.  I think she is getting used to us. 

Miss Sweetums has to be in the middle of everything

Thats it

all for now stay safe
