Zia Turns 3!!!

Zia called tonight to thank us for her birthday gift-- a book on recycling and the importance of conserving that came with a canvas bag to use for groceries and assorted activities. She told us she loved the bag! It's hard to believe that she's already 3. And even more amazing that a 3 year old is calling friends to thank them for attending her birthday party!

I remember June 1, 2005 very well. Jenny had picked the day in the Beacon pool because she and Antonio would be back from visiting Honduras, where they would soon be moving. Jen called me on my way home from work to let me know that she was in labor but had just gotten off of a conference call because she was working from home. Jenny and I spent the afternoon with Jen (I think much to the disappointment of Jamal) flipping through the Sky Mall catalog that Jenny had brought from the airplane as a diversion for Jen. To this day, every time I see a Sky Mall catalog on a plane I think of Jen and Zia.

When they finally decided to go to the hospital, it wasn't much longer that the fabulous Zia was born. The next day at the hospital, with all of the Beaconers present, Kevin announced that Aimee was pregnant and that they were getting married in September! And next came Riley. Here are the two cousins this Sunday at Zia's party, playing in the Somerville "jungle" and having a glorious time. Let the wild rumpus begin!
