Daddy had to help shovel it in. If you are wondering, his response was, YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -- it disappeared fast!

Mmm, dinner, 5-18-07. Mommy had chicken Masamun Curry, Dru and Daddy had SUSHI! Yes, it was real sushi. Dru has now had salmon every year for his birthday meal. Ernie was content to sleep most of the time, and thankfully we were in a private room so he was able to eat comfortably too!
