Wow - it's been a whole year
Patrick loves his broccoli, as long as he doesn't have to eat the stem!





The past year has flown by so quickly. My kids are another year older! I was just thinking the other day that Patrick will be getting "The Talk" in about 2 years. I can't wait to see how Mike handles that. Here are some updated photos of the kids. They are from the kids' party. I celebrated all three this year at one time - I will continue to combine their birthday parties with the family. Kids' parties, obviously, will be separate. Enjoy

Summer is almost over!


Well, it's back to school next Tuesday. It's a bittersweet time. I love being home with the kids, and I feel guilty for putting MeeNa in daycare. I was home with the boys longer. On the other hand, I am just that kind of person who likes to get up and go to work. I can hear some of you saying, "You're strange!" hee hee So, here are some of our end-of-summer pics.
Auntie Red came to town for a visit. Boy, was she a busy woman that week. We had lots of fun with her!!! The Shedd Aquarium, CoCo Keys, Sonic (the new fast food in town with totally awesome milk shakes,) and MeeNa's first birthday pictures were just a few things we did with her. Thanks so much for coming to see us, spend time with us, and everything else. We'll see you in two years in Florida!
One last thing, Anthony lost his first tooth! He just yanked it out!

Summer 2009





We have all had one busy summer this year! The boys' birthday, MeeNa turned 1 and was baptized, we vacationed at Omi and Opa's house in the tent, Cub Scout camp and activities, a HUGE garage sale. Jeesh - it's almost more relaxing to be at work? Hee hee. Here are some pictures of our summer memories.
