Jillys Birthday Party - Part I
Jilly’s birthday is not until tommorow, but familial obligations and geography require two small parties as opposed to the one party I’d prefer. Today was part one of two, and featured a small family gathering in our home. Jilly, Carolina and Ros eating cake and chips and watching Shrek 2.

We’re not entirely sure if Jillys figured out the significance of the day, but the receiving presents and eating copious quanities of junkfood certainly registered, and smiles, laughter and the odd scuffle over toys dominated the event.

As of tommorow at 9:00am my little girl is three years old. Three years that seemed to have both flown by, and crawled by. Go figure.
Happy birthday sweetheart.
Gee … it seems like ‘only yesterday’ we were celebrating your third birthday
And it seems like only 58 years ago we were celebrating Grandpas 3rd birthday.
Ted … I never had a third birthday.
I was so brilliant they skipped me straight to four years old!
(P.S. … Don’t tell Canada Pensions about that.)
“I was so brilliant they skipped me straight to four years old!”
What he’s not mentioning is that they did that when he was eight.
