It's official...Sydney's now a "tween" having reached that landmark on Friday evening. She had a short gathering on Saturday afternoon with select friends to celebrate. The theme: A dance/bread party. I'm not sure how much dancing went on but there definitely was bread. Maryanne picked up several loaves from Panera and I made some cheese fondue for dippin'. I understanding that she substantially added to her ear ring collection - however, I had to rescue 1/2 of an escaped pair that slipped down the drain in the first floor bathroom sink. I grumblingly dismanteled the trap and retrieved the wayward adornment (a peace symbol wouldn't you know) out of the slime. And then the unexepected payoff: "Your Dad is awesome Sydney!" - just when I was starting to get a good grump on...rats!
