Monday, Monday
What a weekend. D2 arrived on Friday night with GS3, and GD’s 1 and 2. We had a nice evening, and everyone but GD3 went to bed early. We could here her from our bedroom, “Wake up sister! Let’s have a tea party. Want to have cucumber sandwiches? Let’s stay up all night!”. I guess …

Birthday!
Did I say that today is D2’s birthday? She arrived in a hurry, I can almost feel Papa driving, way too fast, into town to the hospital. We made it, but not by much.
