The whole family got together to do home improvement projects at Auntie Janet’s condo in Bel Air, Maryland. Morgan, Emma and Erin were there with their parents, as was Auntie Heather and Cousin Connie. Austen traveled to Maryland with just Mama, so it was a difficult trip. Both missed Dada but slept well at the Best Western in Edgewood and got to eat crab. Unfortunately, there was no chocolate birthday cake, which for Austen is a requisite part of any birthday celebration.
