Emily celebrates another birthday.  The celebration started several nights ago with dinner for her friends at Buca di Beppo, an Italian restaurant that serves family style platters of awesome pasta.  The following morning found us at Cafe Roux for the Mardi Paws parade with Sally entered among many other dogs.  Dressed in a tutu, angel wings, and Mardi Gras beads, she took 3rd place among the large dog competitors.  We had brunch at the Cafe Roux with Grandma & Grandpa Maag.

Sunday afternoon found Emily at the store picking out a new phone – much to her surprise.  Because of the restrictions on who she is allowed to text, she’s not reached the astronomic numbers that Anna achieved when she got her phone.

Happy Birthday, Emily.  We love you so very much!!!
