Christmas fun with cousins!

Sadly, the Law family will not be joining us this year on Christmas. I suppose it is only fair that we share them with their other extended family, but they will surely be missed around Pops and Nana's Christmas tree. So for a little pre-Christmas fun, Brennan made the long trek to Ballston (Arlington, VA) with me today so he could visit with his cousins and have a mini gift exchange. Don't tell Pops though. He does not believe in opening presents before Christmas :o)

I was at work, but I heard that the cousins had a fun visit and Brennan was on his best behavior. I don't have any fun pictures, but B's Aunt LiLi was sure to capture a couple. They can be seen here.

You'll notice that Brennan has a nice boo-boo on his chin. He had took a little spill at my Aunt and Uncle's open house on Sunday and split his chin open. I had only told him four times not to run on the hardwood floors in his socks. Perhaps if I had told him a fifth time he would have listened! Fortunately, the emergency room was nearly empty when we arrived, so they took us right back and patched him up. Kids - never a dull moment! 

New Nephew/Cousin!

Some exciting news for this week's update - my sister Lisa & her husband Mike welcomed a son into their family. Jonathan Michael Law arrived on Sunday, August 24th at 11:52 am. Full story here. Jonathan is absolutely adorable and Kathryn is thrilled to be a big sister. B is really excited to meet Baby Jonathan.

Here is a picture of Nana & Pops with their 3rd Grandchild - shortly after Jonathan's arrival:


And here is a picture of the super-proud Aunt Faithie & Jonathan:

For Kathryn

Kathryn requested a recent photo of her cousin and I can't say "no" to her sweet little face so this update goes out to her :o)

This picture was taken at my Great Aunt Goggie Breck's 80th birthday celebration this past Saturday. Brennan had a fun time playing with the numerous cousins he saw there. When I say "cousins" I'm referring to my cousins, my cousins kids, my 2nd and 3rd cousins and their kids, etc. Pretty much anyone in the Breck family will answer to "cousin"! Brennan was sure to give Goggie a big birthday hug and kiss...right before he stole her cane and tried to gallop away on it. It's ok though, Goggie lets him :o)

A New Cousin!

Brennan is SUPER excited to announce that his Aunt LiLi and Uncle Mike will be giving him a new cousin this fall. That's right, Kathryn is going to be a big sister! Lisa is around 12 weeks pregnant and due on September 6th. Congratulations, Law Family!

Here are a couple pictures of Pops with his grandbabies...he better find room on his lap for one more!
