Can't believe it's been almost three weeks since Arizona. So glad to come home but right back into the thick of things again. Everything has been such a whirlwind around here. I can hardly remember what has happened since we came home. I do remember last Saturday. Kristin and Patrick had a birthday party for Alexa's first birthday. Her real birthday was on the 3rd (Wed) but that wasn't a good time to have a party. We did get to babysit Alexa on her birthday but we kept the day low-key as far as we were concerned. Saturday was a different story. Kristin went all out for the party. She invited all of the Lewis clan (Kathy and Jim weren't able to come), Patrick's mother, brother and wife, and sister, Jeannie and Susan with her boyfriend Roger, and two of Kristin's friends, Sara and Kristin. Jeannie brought the main cake, which was very girly and I brought the smash cake, an owl. She got lots of nice gifts including much needed 18-month size clothes.
