Moving much more slowly than we had been, the day started with everyone sleeping in and slowing waking up to the smell of bacon, eggs and biscuits made from an old recipe inherited from Jack's mom. The day moved along in slow motion. Joe did a lot of work to get ready to return to work tomorrow. Jack did a little power sanding on the deck. Just as he was finishing a few raindrops fell and turned into a torrent with big thunder claps in the distance.
After lunch Analiese opened her presents from us and her folks. As today was her real, true birthday, we saved our gifts until now. Opening them after lunch gave her lots of time to open and enjoy each one. A cast of Disney's favorite princesses and a Princess Castle consumed quite a bit of her time. Dressed in fairy wings and a cheerleading T-shirt she was quite content to explore her new toys as we all watched contentedly. It's quite a joy to watch a child's imagination at work.
The day drifted on quietly. My big contribution to the day was to shorten the bathroom curtains. Sara painted a bathroom wall and Joe worked on his to do list. It was a peaceful day.
