Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the last month or so of the kids being kids.  Enjyoy.

George got to bring up the gifts for Mass.

Today Patrick and Becca went bowling as a reward for reading from school.  Patrick came in second in his class with score of 113.

Thanksgiving in Ohio

We made our way East to Ohio to visit two of my sisters for Thanksgiving this year.  We introduced Mary to Minnie.  They quickly became buddies.

Elizabeth got Mary to go to sleep!

Liam and George chillin'.

Becca and Clara doing the same.

And Pat.

The kids around the table.

Fab.

 

Despite the chilly winds, we went to the park.

 The Venias took us to Carew Tower to see the city.

After the tower, we hit an ice rink.  The three of us had to sit out.

 Traveling with a baby is so much fun.

Since we were in the state,we ran up to Columbus to see the Coffey family.

I don't know what Erin is doing.

Jake being Jake,

And Katie being Katie.

 Katie hanging with Mary.

Now that we are home, Mary has an ear infection and Becca has strep.  It's going to be busy the next couple of week but I will try to be better about posting pictures.

Busy Birthday!

As you know, on November 3rd Becca turned 9 and Lia turned 4.  They are both growing up way too fast but beautifully.

A birthday breakfast of cereal.

 Here is a outfit Grandma S made for Becca.

Lia told G&G S that she wanted dollars, so they gave her two.  I wish I had caught the look on her face when she opened the card and found the money.

Nice dreader (that's dress + sweater)!

 Lia had both school and story time on her birthday.  Mary was very happy to crawl around the room.

We had home-made pizza and ice cream for dinner.  Mike put candles in the ice cream.

Becca scored roller blades for G&G H.

And Lia got a music box.

Legos!

The other kids (via Mom) got them the new Equestria Girls movie.

On top of sharing a birthday with each other and their great-grandma Quigley, some local friends welcomed a son this year on Nov 3, adding to the list of birthday buddies.  The girls enjoyed their day and I have helped build many Lego sets the past few days.

All Saints Day

Today George was St. George for St. Pat's All Saints Day celebration.  Here he is at home being totally goofy.

Here come the Saints!  I didn't get all of them, but I did get some or our friends.

Kara Kaminski shared this amazing photo today of George and Mariah laughing at Fr Julius.

All the 1st grade saints.

In completed unrelated new, Patrick and I ran a 5K last Saturday.  He finished in 26:48 and I finished in 30:49.
