A Day in the Life...



Our friend Bryan was visiting from New York.

He recently bought an apartment in NYC so we took him to the Orange Circle to see if we could help him find some tsatskes or furniture for his new place

Then Bryan treated us to a great lunch at Mustard Cafe!













After Bryan left we went over to celebrate Brody's birthday... pre birthday party so he could enjoy our gift












It was very exciting for everyone to watch Brody open his gift!













And it sure did not stay in the box long... Brody had Uncle Chip setting it up before the wrapping paper even hit the floor!












After he played with his gift it was time to play with his cousin

Pope Cousins!







Visiting with Cousin Brian













Here is first cousin Boston who is 14 days younger!

























First cousin Elizabeth laying out the rules...Boston's obviously heard them before!












Working up a sweat....













Washing off the sweat!!








It was really great seeing you guys! Hope we can play again soon!!
