Lex is getting pretty excited and asks each day if<br \/>\n    it&#8217;s his birthday yet. I made his cake today (early I know, but<br \/>\n    it&#8217;s so cool and I wanted to have time for revisions if<br \/>\n    necessary). He helped and picked icing colors and all. Then we<br \/>\n    got a big delivery from FedEx and promptly opened it (fair<br \/>\n    game, right Mema??) Lex loves his new table and umbrella, and<br \/>\n    of course the box it came in. Thanks Mema and G&#8217;Tom. It will be<br \/>\n    very handy for the party too. And I suspect we will do a lot of<br \/>\n    picnic lunches this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Alan took<br \/>\n    today off to help get ready and just have a family day. It was<br \/>\n    nice. I even got to sleep in for the first time in forever!<br \/>\n    Extra nice! Now I have a few presents to wrap and then I think<br \/>\n    I&#8217;m calling it a night. Family arrives tomorrow. Yay!!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few pics to tide you all over until<br \/>\n    tomorrow or Sunday :)<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7ULD4zcI\/AAAAAAAADfE\/RyKvVKc8H28\/s1600-h\/IMG_1872.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7ULD4zcI\/AAAAAAAADfE\/RyKvVKc8H28\/s320\/IMG_1872.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203763480946593218\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Silly<br \/>\n    boy in a box.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7UrD4zdI\/AAAAAAAADfM\/GlPoDn-hFf0\/s1600-h\/IMG_1876.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7UrD4zdI\/AAAAAAAADfM\/GlPoDn-hFf0\/s320\/IMG_1876.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203763489536527826\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Cute<br \/>\n    girl in a hat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7U7D4zeI\/AAAAAAAADfU\/-88cLavyOSE\/s1600-h\/IMG_1880.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SDd7U7D4zeI\/AAAAAAAADfU\/-88cLavyOSE\/s320\/IMG_1880.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203763493831495138\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">I have a<br \/>\n    series of pictures of Alan and Lex carrying the picnic table<br \/>\n    around the house.
