86. Send a birthday card to every member of my immediate family for a year (3/11)

I awoke bright and early on Tuesday morning to the most wonderful announcement, my sister in law, Paul's younger sister Belinda, had given birth to her first little bundle of joy a teeny tiny fellow they named Logan Joseph. Therefore our third perfect little nephew is of course now deserving of a 'birthday' card (and I've had to increase my tally on this task +1) but for the little guy I think I can manage... So off I trudged on a wet and rainy Houston afternoon during my lunch break to seek out a card store in the drab and lifelessness that is downtown... Thankfully I managed to stumble across a little store in the Continental Building that had the most perfect little card!! 
Funnily enough I found out after I'd bought the card that the little guy was named for Wolverine from X-Men... oh and a character from the Bold and the Beautiful... but the second just doesn't have the same ring to it does it :D  
Congratulations Bel and Gav.. may your little one bring you a lifetime of happiness, joy, laughter, fun and of course unidentifiable stinky smells, burps, and spit up... poopy diapers (well hopefully not a lifetimes worth), and sleepless nights... I'm sure you'll love every single minute of being mum and dad!!

86. Send a birthday card snail mail to every member of my immediate family for a year (2/10)

My two gorgeous little nephews, born 3 days apart are first off the chopping block for this task being January and February babies. Jayden, the eldest, will be 6 in the coming days and his little, somewhat insane and crazy little brother will be turning 4 a couple of days later... wow, when did these little cuties get so old?!?! Is it just me or does time really really fly!!! I guess the saying really is true, you really do notice the passage of time through the old and the young...

Meeting my first  little bubba nephew Jayden Ryan Keneally, 6 years ago.. seems like yesterday!! (2004)
My second little man - who joined us 2 year later... Wade James Keneally (2006) 
My two little rat bags - today! (Looking very impressed.. as usual!) 

So with birthdays in the near future its time to send birthday cards to fufill this part of the challenge... I had to be well prepared as of course the boys aren't quite to the point of understanding that Aunty Bee and Uncle Paul live in America SO I had to have the birthday cash saved and in reserve on the last trip back to Oz (for the wedding)... But at least I got to pick some super cute cards at home in H-Town :D
Jayden and Wade's birthday cards 2010!
I especially love the inside of Jayden's card - I guess as the boys get older they begin to understand more and more it starts to opens an entire new world of opportunity!!
The inside of Jayden's birthday card - Monster Mash!! 
Happy birthday my dear boys - you make your Aunty Bee feel older and older every year that passes.. and they do seem to pass waaaay to quickly!!! xxx
