My dad and I share a birthday which has always been a special tradition for both of us.  Though we haven't always been able to celebrate together, we do our best to see each other around the big day and we had the chance to do so last weekend when we met at Dad and Carol's home in Suncadia. It was also good to see my brother Matt and his new GF Christine.  Ellie absolutely loves being at the house and we all had another memorable time together. Dad and I opened some wonderful gifts and were treated to a special dinner on Saturday night, prepared by Carol and Matthew with a little help from Ellie. The weather was pristine and though sunny, reminded us that autumn has officially arrived.  Our memories are posted here.
