A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting with my Great-Aunt Rita from California. This is the first time she met the kiddos and Hadley really turned on the charm - singing, smiling and giving lots of hugs. Rita loved it. She's such a kind and classy lady - I hope I have a few ounces of that when I'm 90!

| My brother takes everything in stride. A dog, a two-year old, a newborn and his beer - no problem. |
 |
| Grandpa's lap - the best seat in the house. |
 |
| There were lots of birthday festivities including a mustached-out family photo, birthday pop culture trivia, more cake and treats than we could eat and lots of cheer. |
 |
| Mike and Miles actually look pretty good with mustaches. |
 |
| In fact, Miles liked his so much he wore it all afternoon. He later added one on his forehead to look like a unibrow. |

| The annual cousins cabin picture - last year there were 4 - now there are 6! |
 |
| When we returned we celebrated Mike's birthday with presents and pumpkin pie. |
The funnies...
A conversation during dinner
Miles: God made me not like blueberries.
Me: No, God made blueberries. He wants you to eat them to grow big a strong.
Hadley: Remember when Jesus hit me in the face? He hit me and then had to take a break.

Tonight, Hadley cradled her dinner fork and pretended it was baby Rylan. She told us "shhh - he's sleeping" and then proceeded to sing happy birthday to it as she patted it gently.

Miles threw a penny into a fountain at the Arboretum today then turned around and hugged me. He said, "you know what I wished for? That you're my friend mommy."
