Today is Lovely Eva’s birthday and how are we celebrating? Classic WASP fashion of course, overkill. Christopher, Eva’s “friend” and his parents are in town for the weekend so we’re making a day of it.

This morning Greg pulled himself out of bed and cooked her favorite breakfast and we all sat around talking until the Eva and Christopher left for the mall to buy her an outfit for tonight. Not to worry, BC went along as the chaperon because you know he’ll come back and tell it all!

We, the parents, have been in the house most of the day shooting the breeze and acting like teenagers. We’ll be sure to pull ourselves together before the kids return. Thankfully I finished my writing for the day before all hell broke loose.

Later this evening we’re having dinner at some mom & pop joint Eva adores and then the kids are going to the movies after she opens her gifts.

I must say I’m exceedingly proud of Eva. She’s a straight “A” honors student, very respect to us and those around her and she’s extremely level headed.

And when it comes to Christopher she’s very realistic and focused. Everything: outings, his visiting for the weekend, gifts and so on are all cleared with her father before hand….mind you; she laid down these rules, not us.

And Christopher, bless his heart. We love him dearly. He’s an honors student, works on the weekends, plays sports and is head over heels for a girl who insists he not call her after 8:00pm because she spends that time with her dad. This boy has patience!

That’s it for now. I’d better run before the cats kill one another.

Happy Birthday Lovely Eva! Your parents are soooo proud of you. Kisses my beautiful child.
