amy's birthday (8-27-06)

Well, the youngest among the Hammer clan has turned 24. Though Amy's birthday was actually on Sunday, we celebrated the day before. Saturday was full of shopping for myself, Mom and Amy. We went to Pasadena and spent a couple hours in Anthropologie, where she spent most of her birthday money. Then we went to the Brea mall for MORE shopping. The day was followed by an evening of eating, LOTS of eating. Mom prepared a 5-course meal, complete with appetizers and two kinds of dessert! It was so great to have the whole family up. Even Jon and Julie were in town from San Diego. Well, Happy Birthday Amy! I hope the day was all you hoped it would be. Maybe next year you'll get the bike.



I just need to take a quick moment and comment on the fabulous creativity and patience of our mother. She made this afghan for Amy for her birthday. That's nearly 300 little crocheted squares, which were then sewn together, after which she crocheted several rows around the whole thing. Its AMAZING! And inspiring. Mom, you truly are talented, and don't let anyone ever tell you differently. Oh, and how do I get one?

You, my beautiful talented and creative daughter, can make your own! :)

Love you, Mom
