We just got back from a week long trip to Amelia Island, FL for the Brown family reunion. We stayed right on the beach at a great condo complex. It was incredibly hot and humid, but we made the best of it. We usually spent the mornings on the beach and in the pool, and spent the afternoons in the AC. We even got to celebrate Patrick's 1st birthday with the whole family. It was great to see all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and their families. It's been almost 10 years since I've been to Florida. A huge thanks to Tim and Laddy and everyone else who made the reunion possible. We had a blast! Cheers!

Sam had a great 4th birthday with 2 parties. The first was at his preschool across the street. The kids in his class all got pirate loot in their gift bags, and the whole school sang happy birthday to him. A few days later we had a party for him at our house with family and friends. He scored big with lots of gifts including pirate and knight gear. Below is a video of the brave sir knight in battle.
