Gloria and Zach both have late fall birthdays, and only a month apart, so I suggested they to choose a summer date – and they did. We enjoyed pepperoni pizza and ham and cheese strombolis from Two Cousin’s restaurant.

It was a beautiful evening, so we took lawn chairs out to the driveway and watched Aleah play in the stones in our patio flowerbed.

Aleah is at a fun age – two years and four months. We loved hearing some of the new words she is quickly learning.
