House Photo Update

New Exterior Photos - notice window trim and fill up to the door - no more ghetto ramp.

Happy Birthday Punk

Our favorite (only!) punk nephew turned two last week.  As the auntarazzi, I brought my camera along and took some pictures of said punk kid and his cousins.  

Deep down, he's really excited that it's his birthday.

Here's his cousin J.

Birthday dude was a little tired.

He was VERY excited when he opened this one.  "Oh!" He exclaimed.

M., another of Punk's cousins.

N. had the job of ferrying gifts to the table.
