After 2-hour swim party at Juniper, the kids were exhausted. That didn't stop anyone for more partying at Higher Ground Co-Housing hosted by our friend, Michelle, in honor of Peter Biskup's Surprise 10th Birthday Party.
We are glad that our friend Peter was honestly surprised. It made it SPECIAL. Potluck was great as always...top it off with delicious frosted birthday cake, cupcakes, pumpkin pies, and ice cream.
Thanks, Erin/Paul, for a load of fun. Great Party!

If memory serves us well...DD#2 was surprised, thrilled, and ecstatic about how we celebrated her special day! Special THANKS to our dear friends, M, B, Mommy P and Daddy M who share these happy memories with us.

Friends help you "weather" the storms and enjoy the sunshine of life
The kids were deprived of sleep after staying up well after midnight. The Andersons and we attended THE HARRY POTTER PARTY at Barnes & Noble the night before McKayla’s birthday celebration. It was a waste of time. Many die-hard fans were irate because they had to be evacuated from the store at 11 pm and get in line once again for Rowling’s last book of the series release at midnight. We gave up and left at 11:45 pm. As it turned out, there were no special promos given out. All in all, it was most disappointing HP party attended—not extravagant, no elaborate thrills we experienced when we were in California in previous years. Oh, well…we’re glad it’s the last one!
No surprise to us, our friend, Jenn, had her place magically decorated--inside and out! It perked the kids up right away. McKayla’s all dressed up, perfect fitting for a royal princess as clearly evident from the slide. Thank you, Jenn & McKayla, for sharing these special memories with us!

Real heroes are men who fall, fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they stayed true to their ideals, beliefs and commitments.
