Bday party

Douglas had a nice, small birthday party yesterday (3 guests, plus two siblings and several parents). The kids particularly enjoyed decorating their own cupcakes. I also set up rolls of paper outside and they did some painting. The Chinese yo-yos were a big hit with the big kids, and by big hit I mean they did some big hitting with them.

Dan is recovering from surgery pretty well, but his mouth is still a little stiff and achy. But, so far, so good. He may have some very good job news this week (an offer appears to be coming in from the state Senate). Keep fingers crossed.
