We headed to Cape Cod today to celebrate the 3rd birthday for my nephew, Dylan. It was the first Memorial Day Weekend day I’ve taken off in a long time. I have always worked that weekend because I’m off the rest of the week and there isn’t any much point in taking off the day. I’m glad I did this year. I really enjoy getting to go to these birthday parties. My sister,, Shelby, does an amazing job decorating and creating an overall theme. This year was sports. She made a ton of cupcakes that looked like different sports balls like baseball,basketball, soccer and football. Then she arranged them in the shape of a 3 and also included a plate of candy dipped Oreos that also looked like sports balls.
At the party the kids had a great time. There were a bunch of other little kids and older kids to play with. Andrew had some older girls to follow around. He does enjoy playing games with any of the older girls. But them he is also incredibly sweet with his cousin Kylie. He kept going and getting more pieces of watermelon to share with Kylie. He must have shared 3 slices with her.
My baby sister just had a baby of her own. Eva and Andrew have a new baby cousin named Dylan. He’s a little over a week old and today was the first chance we had to go over and meet him. The kids were excited to meet Dylan. Eva because she loves babies and Dylan is so little and cute. Andrew was excited, but pretty much excited for mommy to put Dylan down. He was a bit jealous. He could have cared less when I held Dylan, though. It was nice for the kids to meet their new baby cousin and spend time with their Auntie Shelby.
I’m very proud to be an Uncle again, this time on my family’s side. I made sure to go out and Get Dylan his first Transformers. Of course it was Optimus Prime. I almost got him the War for Cybertron figure but then he’s have to wait many years to actually play with that one. I got him the Rescue Bots version so he only has to wait a few years to play with Prime.
We look forward to spending some time with Dylan on the Cape in a week or so for the 4th of July. Should be exciting in a few years as two little boys tear around the place. Hide your breakables Mom and Dad because these guys will test everything to see if it does break.
Oh and I hit a big milestone today with 3000 consecutive days of Photo-A-Day.
