Russell's Birthday!

Russell did not get a birthday party this year. He chose to meet friends at a splash pad, have cupcakes, and - the big highlight - he went to his first buffet the day before, with only "dudes" (Pops, Paw Paw, Jason, and Russell).

About Russell at 9:

Hot-natured, as always. 90% of the time at home, his shirt is off.

If you can't find him, he's in his room, building Legos and listening to an audiobook.

Currently growing his hair out "to look like an 80s rocker."

Always saves Meredith a seat next to him in Sunday school. (His teacher just told me this last night!)

Favorite audiobooks: Boxcar Children series

Favorite TV show: Odd Squad

Love this boy!
