Teddy's Pokemon Party

Teddy had his five best friends over for a Pokemon birthday party. They traded cards, played games, ate cake, and went a little crazy...as eight year old boys do!

Arm blocking the little brother! 

Watching a movie! 

Happy 8th Birthday, Teddy!

It's a Pokemon kind of birthday!

Last picture as a seven year old!

Nice mohawk!

Kitty Love

Michael got some love from Monty and Gennie! We miss our kitty cats so much!

Gennie declined to photographed! 

Lake Birthday Party

My Mom outdid herself again this year with a Pokemon theme birthday party for Teddy and Ripley and Me.  Not only was there great company and a delicious lunch, but she even got personalized cakes for each boy.  Teddy wanted a Pokemon cake (see below) and Ripley wanted a pink cake (see below).  So much fun!

Friends Forever

Cooperstown

A huge thank you to Lynn and Pete for organizing another family reunion. This time, we were in Cooperstown, NY, which is close to where Pete's family is originally from.

Not only did we stay at a beautiful hotel (The Otesaga Hotel), but we got to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Farmers' Museum, and the Brewery Ommegang.

 As an only child, it was so wonderful to be surrounded by my brothers and sisters from the Russell and Brennan families. Not only did I have an amazing time, but all of the cousins did as well. I am so proud that, even though we live so far away, the kids are still close.
