Madeline's 10th Birthday--The Jungle Party

Started this post weeks ago and am only just now getting around to adding the photos [which for some reason is an extremely frustrating process involving windows shutting down on me every 10 seconds while I'm trying to upload photos. AAAAAaaahhhHG!]...

We decorated the family room with jungle vines, leaves, tropical flowers and every jungle-dwelling stuffed animal in the house. The tablecloth had vines drawn all over it. The cake was covered in fondant leaves, and James, Nancy and "Aunt" Stacy transformed all the kids into jungle creatures using face paints.

So why is the world's worst correspondent starting a blog???

I can't handle Facebook--it's information [I use the term loosely] overload and (on the rare occasions that I actually look at it) I end up in complete social networking paralysis--but Emilie has this adorable, funny, thought-provoking, quietly inspiring little blog and I've been itching to try my hand. I used to write stuff. Here's my chance to compose little anecdotes and feel like I'm being communicative even if I am using it as an excuse to sit all alone in a book-lined study. If nothing else, some of those digital pictures of which I am so proud might finally find a home where people will actually see them. And maybe, just maybe, something will be posted here that makes someone laugh, or smile, or cry, or feel a renewed sense of wonder or love or self-worth or perspective...just like Emilie's blog does for me. But probably I'll mostly just talk about food.
