9yo

Briggs turned 9 last week. In typical fashion, his birthday celebration spanned 3 days and more. Saturday he took a friend to Fun Depot for the afternoon, then over to Cheshire later to swim. Sunday Libby took him shopping for shoes, socks, shorts and a shirt. All Duke-blue. Monday was his cakeday. Libby made him a cake and let him help decorate. I managed to help scarf some down before heading to a meeting. It was unseasonably warm last weekend, and rainy. Monday, the boys had a day off from school because it was the end of the term at the high school. So they were stuck at home all day, but couldn't go outside. Not sure if any of that really explains the whole no-shirt thing in this picture, but anyway...Presents from Greg and Granny arrived on Wednesday, which stretched the festivities even further. Nice new Nike shoes from Greg and an assortment of attire, and the move The Sandlot from Granny. All good stuff.
