Last weekend Daddy, Ga and Pawpaw went to visit my cousins, Aunt Bridey and Uncle Andrew in St. Joe, Missouri.

Cousin Marianne, looking sassy.

Cousin Brenden, looking sporty.

On Sunday, the whole family went to church for Brenden's first communion.

Daddy is Brenden's Godfather.

Here is Brenden getting blessed.

Afterwards, everyone celebrated with cake.

Marianne sings with the Griffin Junior Choir. They were invited to sing with the St. Joe Symphony on Saturday night. Daddy says it was a beautiful performance. That Marianne sure can sing!

While they were in St. Joe, Marianne, Brenden, Aunt Bridey and Dada celebrated their birthdays. Marianne even played Happy Birthday on her keyboard. See her crazy fingers? Mama wonders if I have crazy fingers too. It's too soon to tell.

The word is in........

Daddy is officially a FIFTH DEGREE BLACK BELT!!!!!

HE PASSED!!!!!

This brings new meaning to my daddy can beat up your daddy.

Daddy? Ga? Pawpaw? When are you coming home? Those guys got to go to Missouri this weekend for Brenden's first communion and Marianne's performance with the symphony. They won't be home until after I go to bed tonight. Mama and I are lonely.
