One Handsome Three Year Old!

Well we just had an awesome birthday party for Boone last weekend. He is now our big three year old, our Christmas baby. I was overjoyed at the amount of people that came, and to think that I was afraid nobody would come since it was during Christmas break! I think we had around 30 kids, but I never got an exact count since they were all running around the whole time. I am so thankful and appreciative of our wonderful friends and family. George read a Bible verse over Boone before we ate: "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity..." 1 Timothy 4:12. Boone is truly growing up right before our eyes, and he is a great example to all of us, of joyfulness, obedience and cuddly sweetness :) We are so proud of him!

Summer 2007 Beach

Kids at the playground; including Boone "wildman" Burton!! Girls at the beach - PAM, WENDY, DONNA - taking a break while the Dads play with the kids, get buried in sand and build sand castles. These women are living the good life.

More of Summer 2007

More Hilton Head pictures. Enjoying the summer evening after a day at the beach. Pool picture in Atlanta with the cousins.

Summer 2007

The above pictures are from our vacation in August 2007. Brooke, Brady and Dad went Shark Fishing off the coast of Hilton Head Island, SC and Dad had a blast!! Brooke did not want to touch the bait or get near it and Brady was a little more interested in the snacks than the fishing. Afterwards we went to a local restaurant and the kids posed with the Pirates.

Brian and the boys

Here is Uncle Brian (Pam's twin brother) and Patrick and Sean. They played baseball on the beach everyday that week. Get a good look at these boys, America. I think their dream is to play for the Atlanta Braves. I have to say - they are very good, and made the Little League All Star team in Atlanta. Patrick is having a slightly bad hair day - no worries, though - they are not into girls yet :)

Summer 2007 Beach Pictures

Here are some more pictures of our trip to Duck, NC. Brady and Boone - brothers and best friends. The picture of Boone screaming into the camera was typical of him as everyone on the trip learned. He does not really have an "inside" voice and his communication to the world is - "Hear me roar!" As you can see they were having the time of their life chasing waves and then waves chasing them.

Summer 2007

Here are several pictures from our beach trip to Duck, NC with Pam's family from New York, Atlanta, Boston, and California. We all had a blast and the kids were crying when we left. We built sand castles,played baseball with future Major Leaguers - Patrick and Sean Comerford and even George got to boogie board on some nice size waves. Much bigger than those in SC beaches!! Pam, the SUPERMOM, got a break by having Grandma Joan, Grandpa Pete, Aunt Dorothy, Aunt Jane and Aunt Eileen there to love on the kids, take them for walks, feed them, etc. The first picture is the Comerford - Burton family. Grandpa Pete, Grandma Joan, Brian (Pam's twin brother), his wife Molly and their 3 boys; Patrick, Sean and Casey. Also, George and Pam with Brooke (aka Hollywood), Brady, Boone (the wildman) and Brennan. The couch pictures show the kids in the media room after a long day at the beach. There is one big kid in there too named Aunt Dorothy. She looks and acts 30 but think she's about 40! You wonder where Brooke gets her good looks from and the nickname Hollywood?.... here's my beautiful wife..Pam! More to come....
