Birthdays

P arrived with GN and GH in early August. His birthday comes first in the triple birthday month for the cousins. C made it to Vashon just in time for the festivities. P was pretty pleased with his haul, and really got into the challenges, little games D comes up with for the kids play between opening presents. Cousin K made it out for the day, bonded with the boys, and headed off into the sunset (always sunset). There was so much sugar the boys really couldn't keep up. But worked it. It's blackberry season, so there's great cobbler that tastes sweet and sour and smells lovely, and goes with piles of whipped cream. Just days away from entering his teen years, peer deprived on this family day and between protein and sporty activity fixes, D's enthusiasm wanes as the party rolls along.
