Had a great day today with my two favorite people.

Normally, we’d start the day in church, but today, our Italian cousin, Gianni and his wife, Yetta, were in town, so the entire Steward/Borello clan went down to Old Town Sacramento and had lunch together at Fat City. Great spot if you are in Old Town.

Next, we were invited to a very special birthday party. One of Cacey’s friends, Jan, is a new grandma to a beautiful little boy adopted from Ethiopia (named Diesel — how’s that for an awesome and distinctive name), and they were having a birthday party for him today. We had a great time talking to Diesel’s mom all about Addis Ababa and what we can expect when we fly there to bring Emma home.

And then we just hung out. Watched a movie. Played some cards. And I packed for a couple of days out of town starting tomorrow.
