Last year's cousin convention was so crazy with sickness that I don't even have a picture of all three of them together. But this year we'll try again, and instead of three we'll have four now that Owen is on the team. We're excited to be in Baltimore and looking forward to a fun week.
On December 12, 2004, Mary and her friend Caitlyn posed with a washi project in our kitchen in Yokohama. All these years later they're both working moms but back then they were just seventh graders living in Japan.
The men in the family were getting more use out of our family's matching denim shirts at Thanksgiving 1997 in Chicago.
Lloyd turned three years old on November 23. His parents found the most amazing place to celebrate his birthday: Choo Choo Bob's. It's a train wonderland in St. Paul that sounds perfect for a train-loving boy. Of course Freddie helped celebrate too. Choo Choo Bob's has plenty of train tables so the boys got to play to their heart's content. I'm told they were there for hours. When they got home, everyone got to enjoy Lloyd's train birthday cake.
Forty years ago this weekend the Posses and Harrisons met up at Chuck and Geneva's house in Covina on Thanksgiving weekend so the families could get to know each other. This is me, Brad, and Geneva at that event.
Not yet three years old but just like that Lloyd can be the subject of a Flashback. Here's the birthday guy celebrating his first birthday in Denver with a Harrison birthday tradition, the funfetti cake. This Sunday he'll be the first in the family to celebrate a Minneapolis birthday. Happy 3rd Birthday to Lloyd!
