Happy Birthday... Everyone!

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, March/April is the birthday month in my family. Yesterday, Saturday, was the big party. All family attended that normally attends except for Grandma Barbara and Papa b/ Gma was sick. Oh, and a surprise guest was Grandpa Dick, Mom's dad, from the L.A. area. He came up for the weekend to see Mom...

Birthdays recognized were: Grandma Nancy, 3/20; Faolan, 3/26; Gabrial (if he had come) 3/28; Greg, 3/30; Kieran, 4/3; Dan, 4/15; Anastasia (one of Dale's granddaughters), sometime around Easter; Mom, 5/6. Not that we had the chance to tell people, but Mom'd decided that she wanted to celebrate her birthday, too, that day b/ she was afraid that she'd be in the hospital for her birthday again this year. (At her check-up on Friday, the doctor threatened to put her back into the hospital b/ her leg has another infection - it's hugely swollen, red, and painful. Mom talked him into letting her be home for the party.)

We BBQ'd and just hung out. Below are some of my favorite pictures.

Four generations of my family: Grandma Nancy, Mom, Tracy, and Aeryn.

Kieran pulling a wagon full of little girls, most of whom are bigger than she! In the back, we've got Faolan, Myella, and Dale's granddaughters.

Mean Auntie Katie dunked Faolan's nose into a cupcake. She wasn't too thrilled, but was a good sport. She posed for a few pictures.

My chance to hold the little one! Miss Aeryn loved to pull my necklace and and curly hair.
