Birthday Update

Sophie is very excited about her upcoming birthday, so I wanted to give you an update about the plans. We will have a birthday party, but it won't be the weekend-long extravaganza that it was last year. Sophie's birthday falls on a Saturday this year, so we'll have a little birthday party that afternoon (May 31st) probably. We'll be sending out invitations, but anyone who is reading this blog is welcome to come...just let me know that you'd like to come and I can give you the exact details.

Also, as I mentioned at Christmastime, we'd prefer that Sophie not receive gifts this birthday. We will be moving to France just a month after her birthday and we will not be bringing very many toys with us. Instead, I'd like to ask that if you want to give her a gift that you give her money so that we can buy her some toys once we get to France. (I'd be happy to take requests for the type of toy that you'd like for us to buy with the money, though.) If you really, really, really want to give her a gift, let me know, and I can give you some ideas of things she might need to take with us.
