We had a birthday party-slash-mothers day get together for Kimberly tonight. Our friends Joe & Betsy, Ken (and his new boyfriend Mike, who was very charming), Rachel and Spencer, and my favorite sister-in-law Angela, were all in attendance with Kimberly, Evan, myself, and the animals. It was quite interesting and fun with a house full of guests, a spastic Whippet running around, and a cat that freaks out when there are too many people around!
This was the first time we had seen Ken since we had Evan so he got to finally see the baby. Funny thing: while Ken was holding Evan, Mike started playing with Evans hands, and as he did Evan took his finger and popped it right in his mouth (as all babies do), slobbering all over Mike finger. Mike took it in stride though, saying (since he’s a cop) that he’s had a lot worse happen to him. We really liked Mike and hope to see lots more of him and Ken.
It was really nice to see everyone since we don’t get to see them so often anymore; especially with Evan now, and the fact that Ken and Angela both live in Seattle. Rachel works with Kimberly so we see her lots, and Joe and Betsy are kind of in between as far as how often we get to see them. We need to throw more parties so we can see everyone more!
