Emily's 5th Birthday at Great Aunt Susie's

















































Our oldest daughter, Jennifer, took the three kids still at home:  Ian -13, Emily Jane - 5, and Elizabeth Susan Ann (who will be 6 months old on Aug 24th) to Vista, CA to visit my sister Susie.   Susie's husband Russ's last name is Pfaff, and over the years we have come to call their home and property the Pfaff Pfamily Pfarm.    While at the PPP, they had a birthday party for Emily's 5th birthday (Aug 9th).   A special guest in attendance was my Aunt Gia, Emily's Great, Great Aunt.   While Jen and the kids were visiting, Susie took them to Quail Botanical Gardens - Emily loved it and Ian said, "Once was enough", and of course, they went to THE BEACH, where Ian and Emily were taught how to ride a boogie board by Great Aunt Susie.    The birthday was a great success and Elizabeth managed to get her cute little self into some photos also. 

Not being able to take part in Morse family stuff in California is what I miss the most now that we are living in Oregon.   But, hopefully family will be able to visit again this Fall, and maybe our oldest grandson Aaron , OUR MARINE, may even get a chance to get up here while on leave in November before a non-combat deployment that will take him to several Asian countries.
