Randy and Nutty's Birthday

Randy is building a new cabinet in our kitchen so we can have more storage space. He plans on taking out a horizontal cabinet so we can see into the den more but we didn't want to lose the cabinets so he is building this one. It will look just like the one to the right of me in the picture. Right now it is Delaney's "stage" and she will probably go into withdrawal when it becomes a functional storage space.

I surprised Randy for his birthday this year and took him to Embassy Suites for the night. They had a manger's reception of free cocktails from 5:30-7:30 and we took full advantage of that. Because their "heavy snacks" turned out to be Chex Mix and chips and salsa, thank goodness I had made a reservation at the Melting Pot for later that night. We were planning on doing chocolate fondue but due to the lack of snacking at the reception, we got cheese fondue instead. We had such a good night!

The fam went to Harpers to celebrate Randy and Nutty's birthday and also to feast heavily before Yom Kippur.

Delaney was not the happiest camper at dinner but it turns out she was not feeling well because I had to pick her up early from Daycare the next day. She had a low grade fever and hives. It turns out the poor dear has allergies. She only had Benadryl for a few days and is now completely better!

Delaney loves on her Grammy. My mom does not think she is a superstar with the glasses, but is actually wearing them because she just had eye surgery. She looks wonderful underneath the big bug glasses!


I try to get in on the lovin' time.
