My Birthday Party @ Mom & Dad's

Yesterday, October 4th, I had an early Birthday Party! Yay! While my actual birthday isn't until October 7th, this was a great excuse to visit Mom & Dad and have cake and ice cream. I managed to blow out all 24 candles on my cake at once, although Dad threatened to light 14 of them again so I can blow out the expected 38. There were only 24 in the package.

Cassie, Zoe, and Mom helped lick the candles clean, and did a great job helping eat it too, a task Peter and Dad helped with also!

I added two photos of me here, as I am realizing I haven't added very many of me, personally! Notice my wonderful hand-knit hat, and my new blue over shirt. Thanks Mom!!! It was a great preview for Tuesday.

We also showed off Cassie's new guitar, along with the three chords she learned in her first lesson. Her class is after school at a neighboring elementary school. I took off from work early so I could come to the first one.

It was really cool. The teacher has a lot of experience teaching this class and sent them all home with a chord progression that was simple enough for quick success, but complicated enough to be challenging.
