Happy Birthday Bryan!

I thought I'd share a few pictures from the birthday festivities today. We didn't quite decorate to the extent that Caitlin would have liked, but he managed to blow up some balloons and purchased some sports themed plates and napkins. We did wear hats...so Caitlin was happy. Given the circumstances of the week, we made the best of Bryan's day.

Just for Deb ... (Not Really)

After being roundly chastised by Deb on Sunday morning because she's tired of looking at the picture of the steer, we decided it was a good time to update everyone on our week since returning from Texas. We went to spend some time with Brody and Momma on Wednesday evening but the big news was Brody's first visit to Gramma and Grampa's house on Thursday evening while mom ran a few errands. Then, on Saturday evening, Granny and Gramps went back to Brody's house so Mom, deserving of some R & R, could attend a birthday party for an old friend.

Brody and Gramps chillin' on Wednesday while Mom and Granny fold laundry in the basement..

Wide-eyed, the little rascal takes in the sights at G & G's house on Thursday.

Unimpressed, he decided to do what he currently does best.


At his house on Saturday evening, Mom and Gramma thought it best he get up but he kinda liked snoozin' in Grampa's arms.

Relenting to the wake up calls, a good snooze deserves a good stretch.

Just a tad fussy after the diaper and duds change, he takes a break in his boppy.

After a good time at the birthday party, Mom's home and all is right with the world.

Happy Birthday Bryan!!

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you.......

We hope you enjoy your special day. Caitlin will want it to include a cake and banners, etc., we're sure. Maybe the sun will shine and melt some of that snow!

Love to all!

A New Pet for Nina?

Well, maybe not a good fit for the back yard but she can go and visit him any time because he's right down the street from home.

Time with mom and dad is a good time for a snooze.

Proud Papa!

Daddy sure loves his little Nina!

Howdy from Texas!!!

After a couple of brief delays (de-icing in Cleveland and waiting on another plane to arrive Nashville with people for our flight) we finally got to Killeen around 3:30 pm C.T.

What an angel!!

Whole fam damily chillin' after dinner.

Wide eyed and ready for chow!

Here's the snow

For any of you who might be MISSING some snow. Here's a little of what we're looking at. Caitlin was home AGAIN today because of snow. She's missed 3 more days this week due to weather and since we got back, she's missed 9 days because of bad weather. Thankfully it's only preschool. It just makes it hard to stay on schedule.

Once again, Happy Birthday Matthew....here's some snow for you. :)

Bryan

WOW! Look who's 30!!!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE MATTHEW!!!

Hardly seems possible that THIRTY years have gone by but,

the calendar certainly doesn't lie!

Can't argue, though, that you got the best birthday present in the world, BRODY!

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Mom & Pop

XOXOXOXO
