10-27-24 SHORT HILLS: Emmett had his first birthday yesterday. It did not go unnoticed. About seventy people attended the party, including a ton of kids. It was at their home, there was a musical performance, lots of food and cakes, balloons, plenty of beverages. Lots of family including aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and us, the only great grandparents. I counted 17 kids at one point, but I’m sure I missed some. There was no crying that I heard, not even from parents.
Emmett digs the music as many family look on. The family unit and the music man. A music sample. Personal BDay cake. The occasion is recorded. Yum.After all that excitement yesterday, Judy did a dog walk with Bebe and Ronnie and Sonny today. She saw a lot of birds on one of the lakes in town, so we went back to get a couple of pix. The birds are taking a break from their commute, resting and feeding. We saw Canada geese, wood ducks, and black ducks.
