Birthday season

I'm not sure if I've mentioned how July is full o' birthdays around here.  The country on the 4th, followed by Nana, followed by the little prince, and then- finally in his words- Jimdad's rolls around.  We were on vacation at the beach, but I forgot the camera.  Suffice to say that waves and finding shark's teeth made for a great celebration.  And then... we hit the road.

All the way, straight through, to Baltimore (!) to see a friend.  We haven't done a long road trip in about 2 years, and not a drive-straight trip in over 5... so it was almost like our younger carefree days.  With a bundle of joy strapped in with us, of course.  And then, after visiting our friend and CONTINUING to drive into PA, we had a great suprise for jim's folks, who didn't know we were coming.

And you know what we did the very next day?  Hopped into the car for a 3.5 drive to see the Steelers in their training camp.  Yes, that was related to Jim's bday- a very spread out and lowkey celebration this year.  But I've always wanted to take him, so ...


The rest of our days were filled with:  a much-too-quick video call to a special nephew who celebrated his bday, a suprise (again) birthday dinner for Pop (70 years young), and lots and lots of cousin play and fun.  And a lil' arguing (no suprise with 3 kids under 4).   How's YOUR summer going?

Sounds like lots of celebration and fun :) One of these times that you are in PA, we've got to make plans to meet up. Are you thinking about going to DeSales homecoming weekend this year?
