I had a great time with Karmen, David, Dante, and Ethan. I hadn’t seen Karmen since her wedding, nearly 5 years ago. Ethan wasn’t even a thought back then, and I have to say, both of those boys should be in pictures. Unbelievably gorgeous, well-mannered, and smart as can be–perfect kids. The fireworks started around 10:30pm and since I didn’t have anyone to pair up with, I was able to think about their significance for the first time in my life. It was a moving moment. There were about 35-40 people at the party and everyone had a great time. I stayed over and came back home the next day.

I came home to another celebration. Mom went all out (despite the broken foot) with ribs, burgers, hotdogs, and every kind of side item imaginable. I feel like I should have been here to help prepare, but she kept it from me so I would go have fun at Karmen’s. That’s just like Mom. Anyway, it was wonderful seeing everyone here enjoying themselves. Later on, I spliced some Charlie/Claire scenes for Ana’s vid and called it a night.

This was the best holiday weekend in a long time. 😉
