last read: email re: birth announcement of a friend's 4th girl (so jealous!!! i just want to put bows in my little girl's hair and hug her and love her forever... im working on coping. sigh.)

the parents rolled in late friday night. i was up until 1230 making this cake:

(yes, that is a sour blueberry licorice moat!)

got up the next morning and welcomed 13 knights and princesses into our own little land of narnia. that was a raucous hour and a half. i was dead tired man. we had company all day long, and then at 7pm round two of partying began as we hosted our housewarming party.

we had friends from many different facets of speer-life. it was a blast and humbling-ly awesome to have so many people share in our celebration of the undeserved 2,950 square foot blessing the Lord has bestowed upon us. i still have not gotten over it. to those of you who were able to make it, thanks so much for truely blessing us with your presence. there were 17ish kids and another 20ish adults. full (loud) house man.

we had so much food left over. so much. brett and molly (friends from australia mission project in 2001) closed down the party and helped us put away all the food. we had to get creative as kimi threw away most of the bags/containers the food came in and i had no ziploc bags or saran wrap and only a smattering of "tupperware" containers. good times.

i finally hit the sack at 1230 and was so tired i felt like i was going to vomit. literally. but i didnt.

i've got a busy few weeks coming up. gonna go take a nap in preparation.
