Today we celebrated my dad’s 54th birthday. I can hardly believe he’s in his 50s, but then again, he can hardly believe he has a daughter who is almost 30. Mom made a delicious meal, both of my grandmas joined us, Dad got a tripod and a really nice lens for his camera, and Sophie showed us her new tongue trick and continued to please her Dad (and everyone else) by saying “da-da-da-da-da” over and over again.
