The M & M & M Visit

Last week Mark (Michael's brother who lives in Fort Collins, CO) came to MN for a class reunion. Before he even went to St. Cloud, Mari Lee picked him up from the airport and brought him to Rochester. Matt also came with. We had a fun day filled with going to Toys R Us because Mark wanted to get Eleanor her birthday gifts - he's way to generous with her! He got her an art desk/easel, a doll (pictured below) that has clothes you can take on and off, and a giggling Elmo ball. Thanks, Mark!

Trying to put the shoes on the doll - shoes are already an obsession for Eleanor!

This one included the proud Grandma!

Thanks for coming down M, M & M! We love you all!

Wonderful of Mark to hang out with Eleanor--Mark, are you the rich uncle? Darling gifts! The group picture of the Cullotons was great.

Those are such fun shots of all the guys - I love the one of Mike and Matt just sitting and laughing. Hard to imagine a time when I thought -- oh dear, I can't tell them about.

Yeah, ok so that lasted about a minute but even though they are similar in features they are so distinct as well.

I'm sure mommy Mari Lee loved having all her boys together!

What a treat for you, Mari Lee!

Nice pictures, Photographer Brynn!

Cute doll, too! Did Eleanor give her a name?

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Take care -Amy

It's only a couple times a year that the 3 Culloton boys are together, so we try to make the most of it, even if it's only for a day. Although Eleanor doesn't see her Uncle Mark often, she sure knows his name, and said it over and over again. The only drawback Mark has living in Colorado,is not seeing enough of the little lady.
We were waiting in Toys 'R Us for Brynn to get there, and the 3 guys disappeared, but I could hear hottin' and hollering from the back of the store, and it was the 3of them looking at "Wrestling" characters, and reminiscing about the past, when we had HUGE wrestling parties in our family room. It was a good day for all!
