The Whole Clan of Cute Cousins!

Aren't they an awesome group?! I think a baby, sometimes two, were born just about every year since 1992. Well, maybe not quite :).

Left to right: Moira (16) Seamus (2.5 months) Joe (5) Margaret (6) Molly Grace (5) Aidan (8) Teresa (10) Aileen (8) Owen (16) Mara (3 months)
Sitting row: Colleen (13) Bridget (12) Eileen (14) Erin (2) Conal (10) Emmett (14)

The goof-ball shot...
Wooooaaaaahhh! (nobody got hurt)

The New Bundles in the Bumbos!

There's nothin' cuter than babies in Bumbos. Seamus and new cousin Mara pose for the cameras here. Grandma D., maybe you got a better picture? (I hope you got one with both babies looking). They were adorable!

Fun With Family!

As always, summer is just not summer without Tim and Suzy's annual visit. Aileen, Joe and new baby Mara bring us all added joy. We sure do miss them and wish so much they lived closer. We always pack in so much fun while they are here but it always goes by too quickly.

Here's Eileen adoring Joe, who has a way of always keeping the laughter coming at a steady pace, with a few burst here and there...
Isn't this a sweet picture of Colleen, Seamus and Bridget...

Smiley Seamus

At 2.5 months old, Seamus is a smiley guy who loves the attention from all his siblings and his parents who are quite smitten with him!

Milwaukee Zoo

Every July we attend Baird Zoo, the summer gathering for Baird (Mike's employer) employees. It's always a fun treat for the kids!

Milwaukee Irish Fest!

Milwaukee Irish Fest!!! It's always a great day/weekend of the summer. We were only there for one of the four days this year. If you don't know what Milwaukee Irish Fest is go HERE

It was Tim, Fr. Denny, Pat, Grandma and Grandpa D, my dad, Kelley, Owen, Emmett, Eileen, Colleen, Bridget and I who went down for the day. My Uncle Tim and Fr. Denny spent the day at their Franciscan U party, and the rest of us spent a little time there. We shopped, enjoyed the music, ran into friends, us girls found ourselves critiquing the dancing of our friendly rival schools in WI, etc.

Molly Grace is Two Wheelin'

I am hoping to catch up on some blogging now that Seamus us two months old (look for some smiling pictures of him soon!), and I know we'll be getting very busy with school again real soon.

For starters, this spring, Eileen taught Molly Grace how to ride her two-wheel bike. It took all of five minutes. Eileen said, "Molly Grace, do you want to learn to ride your bike?" She said, "Yes!". Literally, five minutes later, I looked out our living room window to see this:

I believe it was Eileen who also taught Aidan to ride his bike. I think she has a calling!
