Zak and cookies

Vivian and Chelsea talking

Evan ... if Kennedy needed anything,  I would leave right now to help her.  She has my back.

Zak was at the house when I was making brownies for July's Second Sunday Supper, and we talked about Back to School Cookie Day, and whether or not he would be able to get here that day, because of work. I asked him what day he started classes, and when I marked that on the calendar, he said, "Awwww." He called me a couple of weeks later to correct the date, sent me a text one day last week to let me know what time he would be here and the followed up by letting me know that Vivian and his friend Tragen would be with him. We stopped by the grocery store Sunday night so that I could pick up the ingredients, so I was partially prepared when Chelsea let us know that she was going to be induced Tuesday --- which just also happened to be Zak's first day of classes. 

So, I sent Zak a text and asked him to call me. Told him I was looking forward to making the cookies, had the ingredients, baby being born Tuesday, trying to decide if I should make them and leave them on the counter for him, or and he interjected, "If it would be easier to make them today, we could do that." So, that's what we did. :-) Evan and Chelsea happened to be at the house when they got there, and Chelsea and Vivian ended up sitting at the table and visiting === Vivian giving Chelsea all kinds of information about getting grants and what it costs to get her CNA. 

I can't remember now just how Kennedy's name came up, but Evan said, "Kennedy's got my back. And if she called me and said she needed me to come, I'd leave right now."
