Birthday Time

The last week in September is birthday time for our family. Drew was 31 on the 25th, Hannah was 5 on the 27th and Andy (Drew's father-in-law) is 60-something today - the 30th. All these birthdays in a 5-day period make for a fun family party. We all gathered together on Saturday for one big birthday bash and barbeque. The weather was beautiful and sunny so we got to be outside all day.

We started off the day by going to JJ's soccer game. He was the goal keeper for most of the game and stopped a couple of goals from being made, so he was happy as the crowd cheered his successes.

The birthday celebrations began right after the soccer game ended. There were 17 family members there and it made for a great time for everyone. Hannah had all her grandparents and great-grandparents there, as well as, all her aunts, uncles and cousins with the one exception of Mark who just could not fly in from Boston for the day.

Among many other gifts, Hannah got a matching nightgown for herself and her doll "Sally".

For those interested in a Penny (the puppy) update...........

She was recovering well until she went down the slide and suffered a setback, but is now once again on the mend.
