Celebrations

September 30th has been a day of celebration in our family for 3 specific reasons:

First off, it's my sister and brother-in-law's Wedding Anniversary, 

it is also their son Scott's birthday, and our nephew Michael's birthday.

When I was young and still lived at home 

we would often celebrate the birthdays together.

Here I am with Scott as a young boy.

I'm trying to find a picture of me with my other nephew.

If I find one I'll post it here one day.

Those days were precious to me. 

Our whole family would get together and celebrate.

Now we are all scattered and it's not as easy to get together for these celebrations.

That makes me a little sad :0(

I was able to find a picture of the happy couple on their wedding day

Today marks their 45th Anniversary 

and they are celebrating on a cruise as I type this post :0)

A gift from their son and daughter-in-law who went along, too,

after all, it is Scott's birthday too! 

Here's wishing you all Bon Voyage!!!

And in the spirit of celebration, 

let me introduce you to our newest reason to celebrate

Miss Aria Rose was born to our niece Crystal and her husband Adam

on September 27th...that's right - this little sweetheart was born on my birthday!

Remember our trip to her Baby Shower

Isn't she beautiful!!!
