Amy (our talented graphic designer daughter) designed the invitations and name cards at the tables - complete with little phrases about each person. Jordan (who should be an event planner) arranged the decorations and games. Lots of games. The food was delish! Tea, of course, and little sandwiches and scones - warm, just from the oven. There were fancy cupcakes for dessert too. Susi was in charge of paying for the above...

It was a great party. We're looking forward to meeting the little guy in a few weeks! Later, after a rest (it's hard eating and drinking) we walked walked around downtown Denver. They were having a rock event and an art event - and the weather was fabulous.
We walked by one stage - and they were singing, "Pick Up the Pieces". It was the original Average White Band. Okay - most of 'em. They sounded great. We had a band that sounded kinda like AWB for our senior prom - every song sounded like "Cut the Cake".

We ended up at a nearby bowling alley - they had a bloody mary bar and Paul could watch the baseball game with 7 women. Later Amy, Paul and I walked to a local bookstore, Tattered Cover. It was very cool - way nicer than a Barnes and Noble.
We ended the day at a funky restaurant that Cindo selected called Euclid Hall - named after the mathematician. Their menu is interesting - after appetizers of pickles and sausage, Amy had pig's ears - fried. Paul had chicken and waffles. The chicken was ground and covered with even more coarsely ground chicken. Cindy had a cauliflower salad. I had a mini fish sannie.

It was a busy day - I love my family. I slept like a rock!
