Zoe's birthday

This past week, my sister Zoe celebrated her 30th birthday by changing diapers and trying to quiet down her labradoodle. That's what she was doing when I called her, anyway, though she may have had some cake and blown out candles later on. This has been a very exciting month for Zoe, and her life has changed completely, but it's a little hard to find out how she feels about it amidst all the crying and barking going on around her. I shouldn't make fun of her noisy, busy (and happy) life too much, since I was also rushing around when I called her, trying to get to a rehearsal on time and avoid getting hit by a bus.

I last saw Zoe last summer, but everyone in our family has been planning pilgrimages to go visit her and baby Isaac soon, and I will probably follow them in the next couple of months. The closest I can get for now is an occasional phone call or a visit to their ever-interesting web photo gallery.
