November Notables

November Birthdays was ushered in on the 1st with one of the cutest Birthday Girls ever. Here is Anne Cothran cuddled with her dad and older sis, Perrin. From there she grows into a smiling rock climber and avid 5K runner. But those are not her only talents, check out the Charleston garden designed and maintained by Anne. She writes that after an enjoyable Spring filling Charleston's gardens and pots with floral bouquets, she traveled to New England twice to spend time with her favorite niece, sister and of course her aunties. She says she missed us but I am really thinking it was the SC heat that sent her packing. Whatever the reason it is always great to see her.

Sandy Boynton Messing celebrated her birthday on November 3rd. She had a busy summer with keeping up with her business, accompanying Kurt to truck rallies and Karyn to horse shows and track meets. Karyn may have joined "Girls On The Run" team but Sandy is the champion!

Sandy on the right looks like she has once again come away from the table with more food on her face than in her tummy

Aah what a beautiful woman she has turned into, smart and funny too. Kurt is one lucky guy as are we to have her in the family. Her mother would be proud. I know her Dad is.

Iain Russell's birthday is the 9th. Here are few photos of Iain doing what he loves best, sharing his love of the great outdoors with his family.

We celebrate Shane's Birthday on November 16th.

Now this is a guy that obviously likes dressing for the occasion whether it's halloween or fairy parties. Can you believe you can actually make money teaching Fairy House Building? Shane Chick is a very talented printmaker living in South Berwick Maine, with Perrin and daughter Mia. You can check out his art at www.etsy.com/shop/chickfamilylink.

Martha Burker Lipner, nee Martha III will be toasted by her family on November 21st. She is first seen here nestled in with her granny, Martha I. At least I think its her but more photos are needed to confirm identity.

Last of the November Family Birthdays is on November 23rd, Guilia Guidi. She is featured here with her daughter Barbara and Carey(Bonner's husband) and Karyn(Sandy's girl). She resides in New Jersey near Little Brook Farm with her daughter and husband Peter. She teaches French and Italian to students of all ages and is a Yoga instructor as well.

Big Month for Birthdays! A Happy One to All!
