Brendan & Elodie
Late June, 2007 A busy start to summer, Brendan is growing more and more independent and confident and learning more words daily. His little sister is not so "little" anymore. He stills loves her to pieces, giving kisses generously. It's obvious that the feeling is mutual. She is a happy baby, like her brother, and has begun to laugh out loud.

Grandpa, "Boppa" to Brendan, is intent on making Elodie feel as comfortable in front of his webcam as Brendan is. |
This photogenic little doll LOVES the camera. You'd think her name is "Paris"! |
I can't decide if she is more beautiful awake or asleep.
|
|
Brendan is very adept at feeding himself. |
Well, MOST of the time!! |
He washed up in the sink before his dip in the hot tub with Auntie Shannie. |
|
Brendan thinks it is funny to get 3 people in Grammie's chair! |
"Is that the darned Paparazzi again?" |
Brendan took this picture of Mommy and crazy Auntie Shannie. |
|
Auntie Shannnie gets her picture taken by Brendan too. He brings out the best in everyone. |
Brendan is ready for more fun with his cousins before they go back to Texas. |
Alexis and Brendan get along fine now. |
|
Mia can speak ITALIAN! |
AND she can do chin-ups, almost! |
Joey fires up the barbecue - it's a "guy" thing. |
|
Not to be outdone, Brianna shows her "monkey" talents. |
Poor little Lizzy fought a battle with a headache all day, but finally lost. |
The twins, Mia & Alexis think they smell FOOD!. |
|
The chef, Joey, seems pretty proud of himself. |
Sandra looks like she has had enough vacation... |
...and is ready for some Joey time! |
|
Lynda and Brendan race to bite that birthday cake. And the winner IS...both! |
Mia tells Micky a secret while Alexis spills the beans to Abuella. |
"You told!" "No, YOU told!" |
|
"Anyone for a soccer game?" |
Brendan lines up his shot... |
..."butt" misunderstands the meaning of a "head shot"! |
|
Elodie is all eyes after her nap... |
...see what EYE mean? |
"Boppa" gets some attention from the sillies. |
|
Mia is inquisitive, something is funny here! |
"What's THIS?" Moustaches are curious. Brendan likes to tickle Boppa's.
|
Brianna is pensive. She's going to miss her cousins as much as we will miss her. |
|
"Elodie wants some dinner, Mom" |
Brendan and his cousins start picking up. |
"It's been a wonderful visit and I'll miss you all so much!" |
|
Brianna will be so MUCH more grown up, the next time we see her. What a lovely young lady she is already. |
Everyone is so tired out that they can barely stand on their feet.
It's time to say, "Good night." |
