St. Patrick's Day and more.

Last week was St. Patrick's Day and we again went to the parade in Peoria. This moment made me very proud. Bone not only in front but wearing kilts!


My view of the parade was really the back of Pat and Becca's heads.

And then I'd turn around to check on George who slept through the whole thing.

Here is our friend Teddy with his Aunt Maria.

And all his sisters.

What a sweet boy, huh?

Here are some random shots from today as I attempted to capture George's beautiful smile.

Becca refused to be left out of course.


I hope you enjoyed our pictures and all is well.

The Great Grandparents Tour

We had a busy week. First we headed to South Bend for a funeral and to see Great Grandma Sullivan. She was delighted with George.

Not to be out cute-ed, Becca worked her magic on Great Grandma too.

On Saturday we went up to Mundelein to see Great Grandma & pa Hatton .

Grandpa was very excited to have so many Hatton's in his home.

And don't forget Aunt Mary who was kind enough to not only put us up for the night, but to play with Pat and Becca and give me a break. Thanks Mary!

We also had a game of war and Patrick didn't do to bad for a first timer.


Since we were in the area, we stopped in to see the Godons and show off our kids some more.


Patrick and Becca wasted no time in finding a book for Patrick G to read.

They also found some really cool boots to wear.

This is there little guy, Gilbert. He's 9 months old and a tank.

Becca gave Gilbert his first kiss for a girl.

Here the kids are enjoying being home.

Hey Lauren, thanks for the booties. George even kept them on for awhile.

That about sums up last week. This week Mike and I are fighting stuffy heads and a general lack of sleep. The kids did get to play outside yesterday for the first time in months. I'm hoping the sun comes out again today. That's all for now.
