Brunch at T's!!!

This past weekend, we held a brunch in honor of my mom...who had the misfortune to be born on May 7th, meaning she never gets a separate celebration and such for both her birthday and Mother's Day-we always lump into into one affair!


Tricia hosted a grand affair, with plenty of fun, food, and laughter. As always!
















(Mom and Anna, Rebecca and her boyfriend Mike with mom, and Kimberly and her boyfriend Jeff. Although it seems really strange to call a man in his 40's a boyfriend. A manfriend? Sorry, I digress).




















The weather was positively gorgeous...mom and Anna made a little house back in the woods, and served up sprucecone lunch on a flat rock plate! And they watched the birds, after which Anna marched back down across the yard to invite everyone to come to the woods at the edge of the yard, because "It's nice up there!"



















Tricycle riding for all. Okay, maybe not all. But for Jacob, Jeff, and Kimberly-I don't think anyone else tried it except for Anna. Anna was being towed around the yard on it by her brother, and Tricia actually got the fall on camera. Funny stuff...I'm sure Tricia will blog about it eventually. Speaking of Tricia's blog, for some reason her latest post has refused to update on my blogroll, so check back periodically to check on the new stuff it won't tell you is there.




















The guys enjoyed tossing the football around...perfect backyard for it! Tricia has some amazing pictures of Mark and Andrew...Tricia, no pressure to blog all this...I know you're actually busy helping me with the silent auction stuff. (More details coming on our adoption blog on that).



















And then while Mark set about dismantling a chain link fence dog run that Tricia's neighbors offered to us, the rest of set out on a walk around the block! Kimberly is not a real power-walker. She's just silly. I spared her (and the rest of you), the picture of her "Elaine dancing," which she's quite good at. (Think Seinfeld).

It was a grand day and we all had a fantastic time...we love you, mom!
