Birthday Weekend in Atlanta

Chris' parents had two of their children as Irish twins, one year apart to the day! As the story goes, my mother-in-law went into labor with Mike while decorating the first-year birthday cake for Brian. This weekend we went to Atlanta to celebrate Mike's birthday with him (Brian wasn't able to make it).


The children were fascinated with Pop-Pops playing the accordian. His father was part of a neighborhood band that played every weekend in an accordian jam session of sorts--Pop-Pops has very fond memories of participating in that as a child. And now he is creating those kinds of memories for his grandchildren.

Chris' parents put on a nice get-together to celebrate Mike's birthday. Another brother and his three daughters were able to come also.

For his birthday, Mike was overjoyed to have his guitar restrung and to receive a new case!
