Brad turns 29

Brad's birthday happened to fall after his first all-night shift at the hospital. The one where he was one of three doctors running the hospital at night. The one where he had three people code on him and some other scary stuff happen. Baptism by fire for the new intern.

So, we began again our string of rudimentary birthday celebrations. Poor Brad. At least we went all out for him last year.

This year he came home in the morning to a few presents and cards, then fell into bed for a few hours, then went to church, then had to wait three hours for dinner because I'd forgotten to put the ribs in the oven to cook while we were at church. (We came home and they were sitting on top of the preheated oven, nice and raw.)

We did manage to make him a quite delicious ice cream cake, delivered with sparklers and a very enthusiastic rendition of the birthday song. And dinner was good, even three hours late.
For Brad's cards from the girls I asked each of them questions about Daddy. They gave us a good laugh. Here are their responses (in italics):
