Good Day, Sunshine.

We had some gorgeous days earlier this week and we spent as much time as possible outside. Becca, like her Aunt Pat, can be called the Purple Princess. You try looking at this picture and not smiling.

Here's Patrick playing Lacrosse and lounging in the grass.



And the firetruck finally got some decent out-door time!

Becca had so much fun she just fell asleep in the sun...

And I joined her.

After a nice long walk to the park and back, Becca once again lives up to her nickname, Fireball.

Who needs sleep?

Hello once again fans. Everyone here is healthy and safe. Becca has decided that she'll only sleep for an hour or two at a time or on Mom. All this mean is that I'm starting to be seriously sleep deprived. We are trying everything we can think of to help her sleep but so far nothing has worked. On the up-side, Patrick sleeps through her cries every night and she continues to be sunny and pleasant during most of the day. Enough talk, on with the show.

Here's Patrick discovering the joys of the walker.

Here's Becca having her first and second bite of cereal.


A big smile for Mom!

Go Hawkeyes!

Here are the kids goofy around on the couch.



Patrick helped Dad mow the yard yesterday.

Becca enjoys being outdoors and watching Patrick run around.

Leftovers

Here are some left over pictures from before and during the baptism weekend. First we have Mike and Becca looking pretty the morning of the baptism.

Becca's favorite past-time is sucking her toes, when they aren't covered up.


A play date with the Showalter girls.


Dolls, dolls and more dolls! Becca is showing Kanka how good Trevor tastes.

Patrick shows his sensitive side.




Good night Erin-Bert!

Baptism!

Hello everyone. It has been a busy week and this is a long post. Of course last weekend was Becca's baptism but it was also the first time Patrick or Becca ever threw-up. And if that wasn't enough fun, we got our house guests sick and they had to stay an extra day. I've spent most of the week doing laundry and going though all the hand-me-down clothes that were delivered. Despite being sick, the kids managed to be stinkin' cute.

First let me thank the three people who were a huge help last weekend. My sister Pat...

...and Kanka and Erin. They helped so much they got sick!

Here's Katie with Pat and Becca the night before the party!


Here's what Mike was doing while I talked to our guests in the house.



Here's Patrick with Aunt Annie. You'd never know that kid was sick.

Grandpa S with Erin and Becca.

Becca thought Erin C was the funniest thing!

Gabe discovered our swing.

Our neighbors cat Louis even joined the party.

Here are the Showalters hanging with Patrick and Grandpa S.

The Godfather.

Here are some of the Hattons having some beers.

All 9 Sullivan grandkids before we went to church. What a fine looking bunch.

Here's the baptism party with Aunt Annie as the Godmother and "Kanka" as the Godfather.
Here are some action shots from the church.

I love this picture of Hannah and Erin!
