one more thing...

I forgot to add that carol and greg threw a birthday party for piper on her birthday this year when patrick was in tallahassee and i was home alone. i didn't realize what all she had planned, i just figured we were coming over for meatloaf. but when i went over to her house she had princess birthday hats for us, streamers, pizza, ice cream (pink), and a big homemade princess castle cake with marshmallows and ice cream cones covered in icing (pink) that had little flags on top to look like the towers of a castle.
