October is the birthday month for our family starting with Laurie’s mom, Laurie, Tristan, my mom, and finally me. Susan and I share the same birth date, and one of my best friends I grew up with was born 4 days after me. Laurie’s birthday was yesterday, and I made her a chocolate cake. She got a cute pair of purple suede shoes and a new set of watercolor brushes.
