Well, it's happening. Jeff and I are officially becoming, um, old. Or at least older. This bothers me to no end, but Jeff has embraced it quite gracefully. Last week we celebrated his 50th birthday in a beach house we rented in Pacific Grove. We had friends and family visit, made great dinners, played games, went to the beach, rode our bikes along the oceanfront, and more. Here's a photo of Jeff with his best friend Allen, who is also Theo's godfather. Theo adores Allen, his wife Kris and their three kids -- especially the girls, Ella and Zoe. It's remarkable that Theo is already "flirting" -- batting his eyes, giving lots of hugs, climbing on to their laps. Yikes -- I think we're in trouble!
