Here is what happens when you let your 4 yr old borrow your camera. A picture of Dora and her foot.

















There has been alot of "playing house" recently. Maggie is normally the mom and the boys switch off playing the dad, baby and kid. Vincent is the dad and Gavin is the kid today. Becky and I have answered to "mom" so many times and the response is "not you". Becky also told me that she puts all the boys in bed and then does her workout while they sleep. :)









Sean got talked in to coming to Mag's preschool. I missed his talk to the class but I heard it went well with plenty of laughter from the teachers and parents. There are 5 firemen dads in this class so he said he needed to outdo them.














He also got to bring the SWAT vehicle which was cool. The boys loved it!


















Seanie and Roman got to come and they just loved hanging out inside.

I did it!!!!!

I finally figured out how to get pictures from our iphone onto the computer. It took me 3 months but I did it! Here are some random pics. For about 2 weeks my son took down these books off his sisters shelf. He even gave himself timeouts afterwards cause he knew he was in trouble.



















Family picture at a park in Dublin!


















Here are after and before (can't get everything right on this blog) shots of his 1st haircut in October. He had a racecar, Elmo on the TV, and a lollipop. He was so confused and very unhappy! The he went outside with his dad and fell, busted his lip open and Sean had to go across to Pete's coffee and get ice because the ladies at the haircut place ran around all panicked when they saw blood. They gave me a baby wipe and I politely told them that it will burn his cut. Glad they work with kids every day. :)

Sean's birthday

We've gotten used to celebrating holidays, birthdays and other events on different days. Sean had to work on his birthday this year so Maggie and I decided to make rice krispy treats for him (or as she likes to call them "rice kripskies"). Sean's favorite memory of childhood was that his mom would make him rice krispies every year for his birthday. He specifically asked if they could be chocolate this year. Happy 34th to a great husband, wonderful dad and hard worker!!!!





"To my favorite tooty. Daddy, love Maggie" translation from the card she wrote to him. :)

What's new with us? Seanie is talking up a storm and some new favorite things he says is when we are out and about in a store... he points to people and says, "Mommy who's that?" It can get a little embarassing. "Wheres the remote?" "Wheres the ipad?" "I want to eat chicken nuggets". "Where's Woody and Buzz?"

My kids were sick a couple of weeks ago. It lasted about a week each. Just fevers and bad coughs. Seanie was acting a little strange after being sick so after the 5th day I finally took him in and he had an ear infection. He got medicine and we went home. The 4th day of antibiotics we were heading up to the snow on a random trip but Seanie's ear seemed to still bug him. Sean took him in and got stronger medicine. Were on day 5 of the stronger medicine and he's still tugging on his ears. After day 10 he better be back to normal. I told Sean that he is like Superman with his special powers of fighting off antibiotics and his high pain tolerance.
