My first blogger video.... pretty cool, I'd say

It has been some time since my last post, but I assure you that more fun pictures and memories are to come. Jack and Trudy had a great idea for a party for Donnie's 4th Birthday and wow was it ever fun. They invested in some cool costumes for themselves and had some amazing prizes and games to play for the kids (and adults too!). Captain Jack was a hit and we all loved his "Scurvy Burgers" and "Sea Dogs" he made for dinner. When it got later we had time to roast marshmallows.

Noelle even stepped it up with some fake tattoos and earrings, etc. for me and the kids. It was great to see my brother and his family again. We miss them so much and wish we closer (both literally and relationally)
