End of September

Hello everyone. We took a trip to Indy this weekend and never remembered to take out the camera. I'm sorry we didn't take any pictures, but you didn't either! On the positive side, we finally met Zack, who lived up to the hype. On to the pictures.
Last Thursday Mike pulled the firetruck out and the kids had fun rolling around the driveway.

I couldn't get Patrick to stand up for this picture.

But he did for this one.

Doesn't Becca look proud of herself?

Here she's showing off her only two complete teeth. The top two are very slowly working their way down.

Patrick, once again, shows off his Mr.-Fix-It abilities.

And then he displays what a ham he really is. I have no idea where he gets it (ha ha).

Before I go, we'd like to wish a happy birthday to Teresa.

Slow week

We stayed home this weekend and took very few pictures. Becca finally got her third tooth, one of the front ones, so that was the highlight of my week!

Mike went to a job fair at Bradley University last week and brought home some t-shirts and hats. Don't the kids look cute?

Random picture of Becca but I think I surprised her a little bit.


And here's Patrick hanging out with the boys.

That's all the picture I have for the week. Have a good one.

She's a Walker!

Becca has officially become a walker now. Before she would do more as a parlor trick but now she's using it to get around. Here's a short video Mike took last night.

Becca's first band trip

We had a great weekend in South Bend. The kids got to play with 2 cousins, see the band, and some friends. It was Becca's first time to see the band and she loved it. Too bad it was disgustingly sticky outside and nap time. But a good time was had by all.
The following picture may be my favorite to date.

Becca figured out she could push Patrick around on Thomas the Tank Engine and practice her walking.

The kids built a Lego tower with Gabe and nobody really cared when it was knocked down.


Becca loves all the cool toys at Uncle Dan and Aunt Teresa's house!

Three future Domers? Only if they start handing out scholarships for cuteness.

This was our fist chance to see Kanka and Erin since their engagement. Silly me forgot to ask to see the ring.

Becca and her Godfather, both looking proud.

Patrick loved watching the band on the steps Bond. If you ask, he can list all the instruments he saw.

This was the best picture I got of the Sullivan/Hatton kids together. Becca really cheesed it up for me.

A Few Steps

We managed to catch Becca taking a few steps late last week. She better now then she was when this was taken but she hasn't ventured into open country yet.

Go Irish Beat Michigan!

Well, I turned 30 over the weekend and the Irish won. Mike made a great cake from scratch but it stuck to the pan and came out looking like this! And of course it tasted fantastic!

here the kids and I are dressed for the game.

Just like Dad, all about the sports!

Brittany took some time to read to Patrick and Becca.

Both kids took a liking to Jon Byrer (Esquire), but then again, who wouldn't?

Klondike needed some kid loving.

Becca smiled big for the camera.

Patrick agreed to let Becca ride his train as long as he pushed.

Here's Pat taking a ride with Pooh and the Christmas bear.

Stop! You must not hop on Pop!

Our lives are so exciting, Becca just crashed in her highchair.

GO IRISH BEAT MICHIGAN!!!

FOOTBALL!!!!!

Becca's 10 months old!

I can't believe Becca is ten months old already! She has made great strides in walking this week. She's gone from taking three or four steps at a time to taking seven or eight. Her balance is also improving daily. Congratulations to Dave and Colleen on their engagement. This is the third friend to announce their engagement this summer so there's lots of fun to look forward to in 2009.

These little angelic faces took a moment from torturing each to have their picture taken.


After several spills, we took off Becca's clothes. She was just delighted to be naked.

Please say a prayer for my sister-in-law who's mother passed away late last week after battling cancer.
