Birthday Surprise
I just returned from California for a three day trip, missing Avery’s birthday by less than an hour thanks to repeated flight delays on Friday. Fortunately, Avery’s party was scheduled for Saturday, so I didn’t miss his birthday as he sees it. We had a good time, but there was a surprise this morning.
When Claire woke me, it was to invite me downstairs where she had prepared breakfast for the family all by herself. Eggo waffles and orange juice, but she also put out the syrup and honey, a few pieces of fruit, the plates, and even poured the juice into the glasses. I assume Diana gave her a hand with reaching the glasses, but she has been known to climb on her stool to do it.
It was worth getting up after only four hours sleep for. Claire knew it was hard for me to get up, since just before going to bed that night she told me “I’m going to let you sleep late, you know how? I am not going to make breakfast, for you.”
Thanks!
