The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Lexie's Birthday Party
Yesterday we had a birthday party for Lexie. She will be 9 next Friday but next week is spring break and they will be with their mother on Thursday morning until Sunday night. Aunt Patti, Theresia and Rachael, and Pawpaw and Dana all came over for lunch and stayed for cake, ice cream, presents, and Lex did "Soak up the Sun" on the karaoke machine. I made Lexie a 3 layer cake. Lexie picked out chocolate and yellow cake. I made chocolate on bottom, yellow in the middle, then chocolate on the top layer. The icing was double-chocolate fudge with chocolate chips. Logan got her a gerbil playpen, a Hawaiin Tropic shirt, a jump rope, and flip-flops. I got her a sleeping bag and clothes. Pawpaw and Dana got her hair beading kit and one of those things that put rinestones in your jeans and clothes. Aunt Patti got her socks and underwear, barbies and clothes, and Theresia and Rachael got her a bed in a bag and pillow. The comforter says Rock and Roll all over it. Lexie just told me she had a good birthday.
