Robin Hood and Stevenson

Seamus, a young kindergartener, has been introduced to poetry this year.  Like all his older siblings, we begin our poetry lessons with simple selections by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Seamus has his own version, however.  As he begins I hear, "Rain, by Robin Hood and Stevenson".

I'm SO Annoying!

Seamus has been flinging around more adjectives and adverbs lately.  In his case, the word usage comes a little before the actual comprehension.

Yesterday, as he was trying to put his shoes on, he became frustrated because the tongue was stuck down in his shoe.  Finally, he stomped his foot on the ground and said, "AAAAHHHHH, I am SO annoying!!!"

Happy 21st Birthday Moira!!!

It's been twenty-one of the best years of our lives, thanks to you, Moira.  We love you and are very proud of you.  Here's a photo to remind us just how quickly those 21 years have gone.  And some things never change...

Happy 7th Birthday Erin!

You are a such a blessing to you, Erin.  We love you!

Catching up!

You know it's been a very long time since you've updated the blog when you cannot remember your login name and password!  It's true!

It has been almost 11 months since my last blog post!

Here is my motivation for adding oodles of pictures (coming soon) and updating the blog...these little cheesehead hooligans.....

They fill our days with countless entertainment and laughs.  I want to remember the memories and I want them to be able to look back and see pictures of  themselves, and their antics, as they grow up.

Hopefully Bridget and Teresa will help me keep up with some blogging!  (Hint hint hint... )

Eileen's Senior Pictures!

I know I am biased, but Eileen is beautiful....inside and out.

Wizard of Oz!

The weekend of May 10 and 11, Bridget and Teresa performed in the Wizard of Oz.

Bridget was obviously the witch.....I'll get you my pretty!  She truly NAILED it - voice, mannerisms and all. She had a stellar performance if I do say so myself!

Teresa had two roles, that of a munchkin and a tree.  She was the best darn tree you ever did see!

Cousin Margaret was also a munchkin.  Theresa Nier was the lion (and the uncle).

Easter {2013}

Seamus fell asleep while sitting in the naughty chair.  I hope he repents in his dreams :)
