Tracy

Today we all went to my neice's first birthday. It was a madhouse, of course. The boys started out shy but warmed right up and were soon raising hell. There were a lot of kids, it was like a herd of cats.

The party was outside. When the sun was out it was quite hot. When the sun was hidden by clouds it was perfect. There was plenty of food and drink. The boys liked the guacamole and the cake and ice cream best. Go figure.

Due to the heat, Kate, my sister, decided to open the presents in the house. My father and cousin and I decided to skip the presents and stay outside and talk. At one point I got up to check on the boys. I looked in the house. Tracy was standing there with something in her hands.

After ten years of marriage, she still takes my breath away.
