You say it's your birthday?
It's my birthday, too!
We're gonna have a good time!
Happy Birthday to you!
Hey Graeme, remember where you were on this day last year? It was your birthday and you came to see me at the hospital right after I was born and then you rushed out here to PAL Park for a game. Thanks for bringing me along this year!

And now, let's party!





Baseball, friends, cousins, presents and cake. Now this was a good day! Can we do it again next year, Graeme?
An Official Teenager!
Connor woke up on his birthday to 13 candles on a breakfast doughnut tower! We all sang and wished him a happy birthday right away because he was out the door early and then traveling to an away baseball game right after school.
All of the boys had baseball games that night, and they all won-- can't beat that for wishes coming true! Mom and Dad arranged four different carpools so Mom could go to Connor's game. It was fun to see him doing something he enjoys so much on his birthday. The whole team celebrated with pizza and a big cookie after the game. Go Bruins! To be continued....


... the next day! Since it was so late when Connor got home, we waited for the next night after soccer and baseball practice (and a shower!) for presents, Chinese takeout for dinner and a chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake. Do 13-year-old boys still like Webkinz? YES, they do. And clothes, music, Wii games and baseball cards. And brothers, most of all.
Happy Birthday, Big Brother!
