09/11/19: someday, birthday, friends, puppets, poems

Our chalkboard poem for today …

We enjoyed a marvelous 8th birthday celebration for Louie on Sunday, held at an apple orchard in Easthampton, and featuring a magical performance by the world famous Bread and Circus Puppeteers. Louie had a group of his buddies present, and before the puppet show, they dashed and crashed around together, playing games, throwing balls at each other, and generally enjoying good 8-year-old mayhem. The parents, including Annie and Gabe, had as good a time as the kids, laughing and chatting with each other and enjoying the boys’ peaceful wildness.
