Erin is smart... tell me something i did not know!

halloween 2007

Scary bat princess!

No I am James... not Thomas! TootToot... Emmie loved his first "solo" halloween and would not even let me help him carry his "haul"... knew i'd steal all his goodies!


Erin went out for more than one round and pulled in enough "loot" to get us through the winter!
Ahhh... this was Emmett's first time trick or treating as a sentient being, he really loved it!

Getting ready for Halloween!

I am gonna be a choo-choo
I will be a spooky spider

I made a scawwy punkin!
Chillin' with Maddie
I wanna be a choo-choo too-too
No... mine!
Hiding from daddy



Kickin' it in Grant Park... shake that bum!

Go-Go Power Erin

We hit the city this past weekend as Molly's cousin and family were visiting from Texas... a nice excuse to do some touristy stuff in Acajio (How Erin says Chicago). Were we are in front of "the bean", a wonderful metal sculpture in Millenium Park.


Mommy and her little guy... (and a fruit jelly snack!)
Colm, Patty, and Conor joined us downtown... (Buckingham fountain behind)

Erin gets turned into a bunny... well sort of!

This video was taken at the Lake County Fair a feww weeks ago (July 2007). Very funny!



A good time was had by all. Emmett is super-brave about going on rides... no fear! He rode this purple car about 15 times.

New Puppy Pics... oh and one of Emmett!

Yes I know there are now more pictures of the puppy then the kids...

But she is so cute!

They are too, i will try to give equal exposure to all in future; just not yet.

Oh, and note the Irishness of the cars in the background! Not a full yank yet.

Day at the Fair

Lake County Fair 2007...

Saw some farm animals (smelled them too!) ate some junk and took some rides

More cute pics... seems with these 2 (and the dog) they are all cute... but I am biased.

4th of July

Random pictures of the family,erin Emmett, John and Ellie (country bumpkin cousins) and Leia the dog!
My, what big ears you have!
Wwwhheeeeee
Sleeping beauty and the beast... but which is which: you decide!



Nice face Don!
Most of the above pictures were taken around the 4th of July!
