Today is Luke's birthday and Hudson got sick in the night and threw up again this morning so we're off to a rocky start to the day. Kate and Will were busy making cards for Luke this morning, and after Luke left to take Kate to school, Will and I started setting the dining table for a special dinner for tonight. I had told Will the other day that we would use the special china and silver to celebrate Daddy's birthday. So this morning, when I started setting the table, Will kept talking about the Chinese stuff and how it's so breakable, and that Daddy's going to love the Chinese stuff on the table. It was cute.

We were all dressed up in our white shirts and jeans last night for the family picture for church and hurried to get to Phillippi mansion and the photographer didn't even show up. So we'll just take a family picture at home to submit for the church directory because we're in no hurry to go through all the elaborate dressing, curling Kate's hair, keeping everyone's clothes perfect, etc., any time soon. The funny thing was that we decided to go out to eat after the picture didn't happen because a restaurant was supporting Kate's school last night by donating 10% of every check to the school. So when we walked in, there were a couple families we knew from Kate's class and one of the moms asked if we had just taken a family picture. I guess we were pretty obvious since we were in matching outfits and all had perfect hair. At least she figured it out and didn't think we always dress like that to go out to eat.
