Emily celebrated an important milestone, and per tradition, she decided to get sick. Her official take on the big 3-0: 30 isn’t old in the grand scheme of things, but it’s old if you’re me. The Zembrodts also threw a birthday party for Jake and Toby. Jake’s official take on the big 0-3: More cake! And Toby’s official take on the big 0-1: Pppbbttt. Maybe Emily should listen to the short people more often.
And alas, the Colts ended their season in a nail-biting, bad-word-inducing, heart-breaking finale to a good run at the RCA Dome. We’ll still Believe in Blue next season, though, and David will have to have a new jersey by then. In the meantime, what will we ever do with our Sunday afternoons? Bring on the spring…

Toby was a little unsure of what to do with the cake.  After all, it was full of <i>processed sugar</i> and <i>high fructose corn syrup</i> and <i> red #5</i>.  What gives, Sara?  But he got into the cake thing, anyway

What happened to that kid that was all up in the cake?  He's been cleaned up and is now into opening presents and fending off Duke.  Sounds a lot like what happens in our house, too
