Training Camp

Chris and Max attended Buffalo Bill's training camp on Monday night. It was Chris's second visit. Unfortunately, the first 30 minutes it rained but the players still practiced and the family area was still open. Chris is very happy to be in such close proximity to "his" team. Now if they can just win a few more games this year!
Max tried his hand at some of the games of skill that were in the family area. He had a lot of fun with Chris and our neighbors, Brad and Ryan Wade.

With his Buffalo Bill's visor on (he doesn't go many places without it) and a big smile, Max poses at St. John Fisher college - training camp home of the Buffalo Bills. He got to ride a bus to and from the parking area and even received a new t-shirt too.

Grandma's birthday

Grandma Connor came to our house to celebrate her birthday and all the family was there. Aunt Colleen even came up from New Jersey. I decorated the big cupcake cake and Reilly and the other kids helped blow out the candles.
Here is the entire gang in our breakfast room. We finally got all of our shades up too!


More from the lake

This is a picture Wee 9 (my brothers and sisters) at Bette's annual Birthday Bash. Min had the t-shirts made up and everybody matched. It was the first time ever that we had kids, grandkids and great-grandkids all together - in fact, I think we were missing only 2 family members. Not bad for a group that numbers over 40 people with spouses. Bottom: Kathleen, Bette (aka: Mima), Joe (aka:Poppy), Min (aka: Colleen), Top: Susan, JN (aka: Joe), me, Jimmy,
Betsy and Trisha.
Reilly practices her glamour pose. Thanks, Aunt Pat and Uncle JN, for the new sunnys! What is that line from a really old song? "My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades"

Another boat picture but this one really shows Quinlan and Max. Brian Stanley took this one with his fancy camera.
