Tom's Birthday...a month late

Tom's mom was unfortunately in the hospital when his birthday rolled around (almost a month ago!). However, we had a small cake party for him in her room so she could enjoy the celebration. All of Tom's sisters told the story about when Polly (Tom's mom) went into labor with him. She was ironing and FINISHED ironing before saying, well, I guess I need to call a sitter for you (Tom has four older sisters). I couldn't imagine being so calm about labor! I guess by your fifth time you are an old pro!
