Needing a little change...

Time to change things up a bit... :)

August Birthdays

In our blogging absence, two of our parents have had birthdays pass! Don't worry, though - just because we didn't blog about them doesn't mean we forgot them. :)

It is so difficult being away from half of our family - especially on birthdays and holidays. We would love to have everyone together to celebrate. Instead, we had to send Mom's birthday wishes across the miles, miss her and just pray for a wonderful birthday for her. One of these days we're going to get to take her out to a big birthday dinner!

Dad (O'Brien) also celebrated a birthday this month. He was a happy camper because he got several things for his new toy... a Canon camera. Sorry, I don't know which model it is. I should have had Andy write this part... he would know. But it's a really nice one! Below are a few pictures from dinner at Gyu Kaku, where we celebrated with the family.

Softball

I am so far behind on posting to this blog - please forgive the absence! I will work on getting caught up this weekend.

Andy has been playing softball with the Lifespring team, along with Dad, Mike and Staci. They've been having a fun time, despite some exhausted muscles and sore shoulders. :) Here are some pictures from some of the practices and games...
