Jon actually got to have his birthday cake a little early last night since we all had Saturday off and today (the actual birthday) was a school/work day for all of us. We ordered a cake from the same place from which we had ordered Atticus’ cakes (King’s Confectionary – kind of a splurge, but whatever…) and it was ok. Jon specifically wanted vanilla, so we ordered “Normal Vanilla” which was both normal and vanilla, in the actual and metaphorical sense. Since 32 is pretty inarguably into official middle age, it seemed appropriate. It kind of looked more like a wedding cake than a birthday cake – but it was pretty and Jon likes elegant things anyway, so it worked out. Oh, and check it – a cake collage!
So for the day of his birthday Jon has, so far, skipped class, had a tasty homemade breakfast of French toast, and rocked out to a little GnR. Good times in the ‘desh!
Also, in very exciting news: On January 30, 2010 Taborok welcomed a little son into his family! He called us last night deliriously happy about his new son, and we are all so excited for the baby! Sam is also especially happy because she and Taborok bet that it would be a boy against Jon and Ranu (Ranu’s is Taborok’s wife), who said it would be a girl. As anyone knows, Sam loves being right. (This also proves that Sam very much might be a prophet, because her wager was based on a dream she had a few months ago in which the baby was a boy. However, she is surrounded by skeptics that doubt her gifts – we’ll keep you updated on future prophesies and how they work out though.)
Happy Birthday brother! The cake definitely needed the candles to make it look festive.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice day.
Congrats to Taborok and his family! That's exciting news. When do we get to see pics of the new baby?
The cake looks delicious. Wish we could have been there for the festivities.
ReplyDeletePics of the baby are coming soon- we are worried to go see him too early since we are full of germs (especially Atticus to be honest...) but Taborok is as excited to show him off as we are too see him so it will be soon and pictures will definitely follow.
