Grandpa B's (aka Pops) 60th birthday party!

What a busy week last week! TWO "milestone" birthday's! First Audrey came into this world on Tuesday... "Pop's" celebrated his 60th bday Thursday... His "fab" party was on Saturday! WOW - what a great time! Good friends and family and even a musician we hired for entertainment! He is a very loved man... I think the turn out was 43 people! He is so wonderful!

Cleaning before the party. Lucas is such a big helper!

Mom... you're in my light!?!

Best little lady in the world!

The Brendel crew... We were so happy Tim could come by the party for a little while. You can see Audrey's sweet little picture to the left of Tim. (Obviously, Kerry, Audrey and Kerry's mom stayed at the house...given Audrey was just 4 days old!)

Waiting at the door to greet people!

Several candid shots of friends and family:

Birthday boy!

The musical entertainment... Anyone want great entertainment... contact me to get this guys info! He is GREAT! He had the crowd singing and dancing right along with all the music!

Kerry and Audrey were there in spirit (via picture from Tim to show off his new family :)!!! ).

Grandkid's (minus little Audrey) helping Pop's open his gifts...

such a silly girl - not sure where she gets it???

Bev and Mammy dancing to Roy the music man... I think he was singing The Beatles?

Happy BIRTHday Audrey!

So "they" say... Never rush a lady??? Well, in this case that is very much true! After 30 long hours of labor Audrey finally had her BIRTHday! I felt so bad for Kerry (AND Tim) ... but it's so worth the wait! SO EXCITING! Mom and baby are doing great... Here are SEVERAL pictures of the little angel. (they are from SEVERAL people, so some are dark?)

Here she is... all 7lbs 14oz and 19 3/4in of her!

The happy family of 3!!!

Congratulations to you two! There is nothing else on EARTH like bringing a baby into this world. They are a true gift from God. I always get so emotional over this kind of thing - to give life??? It's so powerful (as a woman). To think ... you grew that baby in your tummy... cherish every moment.
