Happy Birthday to Brian J., Brian M. and Dawg Pound Dave

Another summer’s in the books, the leaves are beginning to fall and we are once again small cogs in the inner workings of the Loudoun County School District.

We welcomed a new member into our extended family this month.  Pop-Pop’s niece Bethany and her husband Dave had their first child this month.  His name is Ethan John.  Pop-Pop’s genealogy stuff says he is our “2 x, or Second, Cousin” since we share the same great-grandparents on Mom’s side.

Other happenings this month:

• Baby Julia, who is also our second cousin, took her first steps
• We went to the Airshow at Leesburg Executive Airport
• And last, but certainly not least, the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to the MLB Playoffs for the first time in 20 years and the Rubber Duck made its first appearance here in the United States at The Point.
