My Birthday Dinner

posted in Birthday, The 2 Opas (J's Parents), The Kids |

My parents came to town and took us out to eat for my birthday. The pictures we took were phenomoninally bad, to the point Zach and I didn’t even erase them because, as a group, are so bad they are funny. Here are a few that aren’t just horrifying.

The evening was really wonderful though. Good food, happy family, what more can a person ask for? What a great way to bring in another year.

	I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy seeing pictures of all of you together–as a group, you really “complete each other” (sorry, I know that’s a corny movie reference, but it is true). Your Zora continues to remind me of my little Bunny, with her mop of curls. Happy belated birthday!!

Random Quote
Autism is a continuum from genius to extremely handicapped. If you got rid of all the autism genetics, you’d get rid of scientists, musicians, mathematicians. Some guy with high-functioning Asperger’s developed the first stone spear; it wasn’t developed by the social ones yakking around the campfire. The problem is, you talk to parents with a low-functioning kid, who’ve got a teenager who still goes to the bathroom in his pants and who’s biting himself all the time. This guy destroys the house, and he’s not typing, no matter what keyboards you make available. His life is miserable. It would be nice if you could prevent the most severe forms of nonverbal autism.” — Temple Grandin, PhD, Autistic
