Happy Birthday Beanie!!

Yesterday was Christina's 8th birthday. For almost 8 years Beanie was the baby of our family. She has made the transition to "Big Cousin" beautifully!

We all got together at Patti's to celebrate all the recent birthdays (Clare, Ryan, Katie, Ed, and Christina). Just imagine what a mumbled mess that rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" sounded like! Happy Birthday Dear, Cl..ry..kat..ed...tina, Happy Birthday to you.

Um Christina...don't look now but there are worms in your birthday cake!

Jamie, is it me or was that the worst singing you've ever heard!

I imagine for the next several years we will continue to celebrate Lily's birthday separately. You know, Lilypalooza 2...and 3 and 4. But eventually Lily will be added to the summer birthday bunch. With a family this size if we don't group celebrations together we would be having a birthday party every other weekend!

Lily had a lot of fun and it's so much fun to see her warming up to her cousins!

This is so much fun! I love playing with you guys!

Maggie and Christina are you sure this is a hot potato? It sorta looks like a ball to me.

I love the look on Lily when she's on Jamie's lap! It sounds like you all are great. Keep cool and we'll see you very soon. Love Laura

Hi TJ,
I just got this address from Kathy S. Congratulations on Lily's arrival. We were wondering about everything that was going on with you. It's great to catch up on the excitement. We think of you often - usually when the computers act up - or whenever! Wishing you all the best! Warmly, Renee at Trinity
