When school starts next year I will be in 6th grade. I am Brian's youngest and most favorite cousin. I love to play soccer for my club team and basketball is pretty cool also. I remember going to Brian's graduation party and since the weather was not the best, we were having the party, which was supposed to be a picnic, in the garage. The party was made up of mostly adults and after being cooped up in the garage all day it was getting pretty boring. I mean there just wasn't much for a kid to do. So being a kid, I started entertaining myself by putting celery sticks under my upper lip and pretending I was a walrus. My brother joined in by putting cucumber slices over his eyes. Not to be out done, Marilyn stuck a big carrot between her teeth. I still don't know what she was pretending to be, but there is a picture on Brian and Marilyn's web site (www.brianandmarilyn.com) to prove my story. As usual Brian just watched and laughed.

My wish for Brian and Marilyn is several kids just like me!
