This past month, daughter Catherine had a milestone birthday, and her siblings decided to make it special. Plans began to bring her sister, Emily, in from Idaho to surprise her. Originally the idea was to gather at a restaurant in Philadelphia and Emily would be already seated when Catherine arrived, but plans evolved as plans often do, and on the evening before her actual big day the family gathered at Catherine’s house for Chinese takeout. And in walked Emily. How fun! It was great to see the four siblings reunited, since they hadn’t been together in three years.
Em was able to stay for the next day as well, and we all took the train into Philadelphia for lunch at Reading Terminal Market. She spent the next day with her dad before flying home to her family, bringing along a NJ girlfriend (and her two kids) who will be staying with Emily and Anthony for a week or so.
And Catherine had a birthday she won’t soon forget!
