When Mommy was a kid, she really idolized her three boy cousins - Michael, Bobby, and Chris. They were older and cooler. When they lived in Brooklyn upstairs from Nanny and Poppy, Mommy and Uncle John stayed there when Nana and Big Daddy went on vacation without the kids. Michael, Bobby, and Chris are the reason why Mommy still always needs to sleep with lots of blankets....long story but it has to do with a horror movie they made her watch and she has never gotten over it!Mommy loved going to their house in Staten Island where Fortune ran around the yard and they all went swimming in the pool. Bobby introduced Mommy to Bruce Springsteen(the music, not the man although Mommy did meet him in Banana Republic years later....ahhh, but that is another story). And, Uncle Chris was closest in age to Mommy so they had the most in common. Now, Uncle Chris is my Godfather and today is his birthday....Don't worry, we won't tell anyone how old you are. BUT...it is STILL older than Mommy!
Oh, and, Uncle Chris is a smart man...he married Aunt Nancy, my Godmother. Isn't she beautiful?

Happy Birthday Uncle Chris. Nana has a surprise for you coming in the mail. Watch for it and when it arrives; let us know on the blog.
Gee, Grace, your Mommy brought out so many memories for me. I love your Mommy just like she was my own little girl. This was a wonderful gift for Uncle Chris. I hope he got to see it'
Funny - Bruce at Banana Republic at the Grove in Shrewsbery and lots of blankets.
