Jack was real proud of his special birthday cake that his Mommy made for his 3rd Birthday. It wasn't just a regular 3-layer chocolate cake but one cut and molded to provide a ramp for his truck to go from the 4th layer level to the 1st. After our soup lunch, he was able to blow out the candles following the "Happy Birthday Chorus" and then ate some of the cake. It was then time to open gifts with big Sister giving him some help. He first opened a "Filling Station" with which he was so fascinated, he had to be encouraged to move on. Next came 2 tractor-loaders which he wheeled around and then opened what appeared to be a "magic bus". It had buttons and doors that I couldn't even follow, but it was a big hit. He was most gracious in thanking us and giving kisses goodbye. Don called on the cell phone as we got home, and I have the "ringer" set to where there was no problem hearing it. We had a good visit and I had my nap. It warmed up this afternoon and the wind finally went down. Ben reported that it got down to 19 degrees in Seward this morning. We are flipping between the World Series and Nebraska football.
Neither of the games is as exciting as it was watching Jack celebrate his birthday. It seems that Nebraska starts out well but then when something goes wrong, like the unsuccessful 4th down try early on, that they just can't overcome it. We are pulling for the Astro's in the World Series. Not that we have any strong attachments to either team. We did have nice times when we visited each of their parks some years ago. The Astro's have never won a World Series so this is their chance.
