My second youngest brother Adam turned 17 on August 9
th while we were in Boston. My Mom, whose birthday was August 5
th, and Rachel were still in England, so we had a late birthday celebration for Adam and my Mom on Wednesday. Mom usually makes our birthday cakes, but she was so jet lagged from just getting back into the country that she ordered this cake from Nonnah's. It was HUGE! Adam is such a sweet brother and a very caring uncle. He and Christian recently bought Jackson his first pair of Nike's. They both like for Jackson to be dressed "cool!" It's so funny to look at Adam with my children because when I was 17, Adam and Christian were about the same ages that my children are right now. I love you Adam! Hope you have a wonderful 17
th year!

Eric enjoyed playing with Jackson at the party. He was snoring while pretending to sleep, and Jackson could
mimic him almost perfectly! It was hilarious!
