I think She Likes Him....

...just a little. This is how Erin likes to spend her time lately. What a great big sis!






And when we ask her to smile, we get her big cheesy grin. What a joy she is!

Happy Father's Day Times Eight!



We had a low-key Father's Day celebration here on Sunday. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Mike with all the kids, but at least we have these of him holding Seamus. The kids picked out some snazzy new ties and a couple shirts. And of course the homeade cards are always a nice treat. Happy Father's Day to an awesome dad!!!

Our Welcoming!

This is a few weeks old, but the kids worked hard on this nice welcoming sign, so I didn't want to leave it out of our memories :)

Sibling Love

There's 16 years between them, but they sure are smitten with each other!

Seamus Update

Seamus is 11 days old today and doing great! He is soooo loved, and always has a sibling waiting to hold him when I am willing to pass him over :) He is sleeping and eating well and starting to show us his little personality. Moira even caught a little grin on camera as you can see in the third picture.

He has big eyes...or as my kids say, a perpetual surprised look, which reminds them of pictures of cousin Owen :) There's so much to take in...he doesn't want to miss a thing!


And here's that little grin!

"Mee-Mee"

Erin certainly has had quite a fun time handing over the "Thrown of the Youngest". No, I'm not exaggerating, she really can't get enough of Seamus and has no inclination for him to go back to wherever it was that he came from. She says his name, "Mee-Mee" and can't contain her excitement when she gets to hold him, sing to him or help with all the baby activities.

She is a wonderful big sister!

The Name "Seamus"

Seamus is pronounced "Shay-mus" and is Irish for James. For some history of the name: James is English for the Latin name Jacomus, which is a Latin form of the Hebrew name Jacob.

Seamus was named with St. James the Less in mind, one of the Apostles, and also Great Grandpa Delaney whose first name was James.
