Our schedules have been complicated this year and we haven't really had many chances to get together (even without Ben and Tosha and family), so on Sunday, July 30th, which is actually Scott's birthday we got together and celebrated......

| The focus is meatloaf and potatoes |
James....
Zander and James hanging out....
Zander and Aunt Jena
And the birthday cake.....Tosha also had a birthday during the first half of the year, but since they are coming in October, she will join Austen, Niki, Ben, Jena, Elessia, Grandpa Hall (Gary) and Zander on the second half birthday cake.
We had three options for desserts. Scarlett chose cake and ice cream.
Jena made a sign for Scott and Scarlett and sang a song for Scott's birthday. We couldn't catch all of the words but I thought I heard the word "bathroom". When I asked her later about it, she replied, "It rhymes"...which I guess is a good reason to put it in a birthday song to your brother.
And for some reasons, we got no pictures of Liam during this whole evening. So here is a picture I took the day before when Liam and Zander came to play for a few hours (without their big people).
And because I want Niki and Cooper to know that we thought about them (and their big people) every time we got together, here are a couple of recent pictures Tosha shared on Facebook of their cute faces.
The Russell family
Tosha and Niki
Austen and Cooper...
And while I know they miss us, too, this is what they get to enjoy every day. The joys of island living!
Happy birthday, half the Halls!
Can't wait to celebrate with everyone in October.
