Yesterday was my niece Libby's first birthday and one of the big reasons for our trip down to Memphis (the other was to see Beth... oh yeah, and Jon too). Libby shared her birthday with her friend Isabelle, whose birthday was today. We went over to Damon and Jen's house nearby... actually it was more of an invasion. Jon had thought he'd warned Damon and Jen of what to expect, but after spending 24 hours with us, Jon was reminded of reality and was afraid. Showing up with our 6 kids to their house and pool reminded me of the scene in Caddyshack where the Caddies get one hour each year to use the country club pool. We had a blast and Jen and Damon and their parents were very hospitable.
Being a first birthday, I thought this scene was funny, watching all of the parents and grandparents trying to capture the moment forever.
The kids swam non-stop and afterwards we headed over to the hotel... to swim... again. We ordered pizza and hung out talking about what a cool thing we're passing on to our kids by valuing each other as siblings and giving them the chance to spend all this time together. We went back to Jon and Beth's where I wrapped up some of the computer projects I was working on and we called it a night, ready to wake up early for our drive today.
