English Emma Blooms

Aaron's birthday started earlier that he had hoped as Joel woke at 5:00 am in the morning - still on English time even though he did not reach his own bed until midnight.

Joel organized a party for Aaron.  All the stuffed animals he invited showed up.  What a celebration we had as the sun rose over our back yard!  At 8 am Joel came to get me up and we showered Aaron with his birthday presents.    I gave him a book about Edgar Allen Poe... and some chocolate straw things.   I also got Aaron a Jewel concert movie at the hotel we had stayed at in San Diego. Joel got him a shirt and a book on how to teach your kids how to play golf.


By the time we had gone to church and come home from our lunch at India Garden, we were all completely exhausted.
