This weekend started on Thursday. Samantha and Jake flew in from Boulder to help celebrate birthdays and Mother's Day. We joined Oma for an early Mother's Day gathering and photo on Thursday night.
followed by a giant birthday gala at the Circle S Ranch. This event also marked Dad's 30th Anniversary on the Federal Bench.
There was a fancy dinner, lively conversation, clever presentations by the Court Family linking Dad to the Queen Mother and Alice (of The Brady Bunch - and Dad's birthday buddy) and ending with a witty Jeopardy Game. In addition to the entire Court Family, we were lucky to have Nancy, Roby, Melissa, Andy, Donna and Anthony join us as well. Here is the family displaying their Jeopardy Game winnings ... a pocket-sized copy of the US Constitution.
After dinner we enjoyed s'mores by the campfire and learned that Andy and Donna are pregnant! Here is the first photo of little Daniel Anthony Jacob Crow who is expected to arrive in early November:
The next day was Helen's birthday. It was extra lazy and largely consisted of marathon "porch sitting" topped off by an excellent meal and giant (can you say humongous?) servings of Angel Food Cake and frozen strawberries. Happy Birthday to my dear Helen.
Today ... Mother's Day ... completed the weekend. We had a fun and satisfying weekend filled with extra special people
wonderful mothers
and Happy Birthday people too.
