Uncle Drew is 21!

My baby brother is 21! I can't believe it! We had a cookout for him at my parents house, and my mom decorated with some old pictures of Andrew. I couldn't help noticing the resemblance to Nora in this one...


and Anne Parks in this one.





The Birthday Boy


After ice cream and cake, we went out for a ride on the golf cart. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but my parents moved to Carthage this summer - back to the neighborhood that we moved away from when I was Anne Parks' age and Emily was Nora's. It's kind of neat. The house they are renting backs up to our old house. My childhood friend, Jill, still lives on the street (in a new house down the street from her parents) and her daugher, Ella, and Anne Parks have become best friends.

That day, we found a littel turtle and decided that we would take it to Ella in the golf cart.
