Birthdays!

September is a month of birthdays around here -- at least 4 in our immediate family. So, that means celebrations for us (and gift-giving)! Forgive me for not documenting all 4 . . . my mom's, Brian's dad's, my sister Joy's, and Gramma Ceil.

My sister just turned 14! I can't believe it! We celebrated with family and close family friends, the Pennington's.

Here we are waiting for gift-opening

For Brian's dad's birthday, we took him to the Battleship New Jersey for a tour. It's the largest battleship in the U.S. It was incredible! I loved touring it. Here is the beast . . .

Happy Birthday all!
