I thought maybe I’d stay in bed a while, but look at those two out there making a racket.\u00c2\u00a0 Not to mention there was a lot to do that day.\u00c2\u00a0 Look at those piles of laundry that we did out at Emmett and Lisa’s, those don’t fold themselves.<\/p>\n

Noah is still psyched on his new chair from Nana and Opa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every year Kate’s friends from high school meet up after the holidays, using Darpan’s birthday as an excuse.<\/p>\n

Sebastian (with his parents Michele and Dave) was there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hey Sebastian, what’s going on behind you?\u00c2\u00a0 Is that the end of The Patriots dynasty?\u00c2\u00a0 Sure looks like it.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lou, Avi, and Maya.\u00c2\u00a0 All of probably Jets fans.\u00c2\u00a0 Probably heckling me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Layla showing me the crayon tattoo she gave herself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dave teaching the kids proper driving techniques.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Caitlin showing Maya proper writing techniques.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Noah woke he grunted softly, “I had a dream that The Pats were blowing it Dad.”\u00c2\u00a0 I gently rubbed his back and replied, “It wasn’t a dream my son.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a nightmare.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellen and Austin get to see Layla’s drawing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cake!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Darpan was too slow at blowing out his candles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan’s pictures of the Mineola High School crew never include the girls…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…until you heckle him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noah taking out his frustrations over The Patriots loss, on Sponge Bob.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Darpan was being a good dad and polishing his daughters nails as we were saying goodbye to everyone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We pack up and hop back onto the train, which was filled with people in there underwear.\u00c2\u00a0 Looks fun(n’t)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like that, “(n’t)”.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Darpan and Erica for having us over, always a great time.\u00c2\u00a0 Kate would like to thank The Patriots for blowing it, now Noah can retire his jersey for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
