Early birthday celebration

Josh and Damon met with a client this morning; it is their first paying client for Cornfield Media, so very exciting! Then Josh bought the lighting for the basement. His parents are coming to help work on it tomorrow.

Damon's birthday was earlier this month, and mine is later, so we chose today to go out to eat. We chose the Cheesecake Factory, and quickly decided it is not kid friendly. We now have 4 adults and two kids. There is not a table in the place that seats over 4 except booths (and they don't work so well with high chairs). We managed to fit into a booth, Mac's high chair was against the table, and she kicked Damon and me. Then Nolan's car seat holder was in the middle of the aisle, and he spent most of the night on Shelly's lap. We had a good time...but these are things you don't think about with one or no children!

--you can't tell Mac to say cheese, or she gets this crazy look on her face and shouts "Cheeeese"--

--before the Gentrys got there, arranging our silverware, note the barrette on the left side...we finally got her to keep one in her hair!--

--yay for family and cheesecake (again we told her to say cheese)--

--Damon, Nolan and Shelly; happy 30th Damon--

After we got home, Josh started work on the web, and Mac and I played. We headed upstairs to tell daddy goodnight, and Mac decided she wanted to play her Elmo computer game with Daddy for a while.
