Birthday Boys

My Dad and Colin were both born on August 2nd. Every year of the nine years I have been with Colin has been a challenge to make both birthdays special while not slighting either one. This year I finally got to throw them a joint birthday party in our backyard! It was a great success. We had about 30 people over, and I think both Dad and Colin had a great time. I know I did! The weather was perfect, Pujols was on his best behavior, and the potluck items were delicious.

Here are Uncle Dave and Aunt Beth arriving in style.
