Football Jamboree!

Saturday was Michael's Jamboree. All of the teams in the league played 2 games. Our team did ok for the first time, but the other teams definitely had some size on us! Mike had a lot of fun. Actually, I think we all did:)

Clare Bear is 3!!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent gifts for Clare!! She had a great birthday!

Patriot Night!

Last night was Patriot Night at the local high school for all the football players and cheerleaders at Pace. The Mighty Mites (Michael's team) got to go out on the field with the big boys, get their pictures taken and their names announced.

First Day of School

Henry and Mike both started school on Monday. They were both so excited! Clare didn't take it too well. Everyday on the way home from dropping them off she says she misses her boys. Which does include her Dad now. Mike is pumped to be in the big school with the big kids. He practically leaped out of the car today during drop off. Henry is making friends, but he hasn't learned any names just yet:)His favorite time is snack time so far, so we'll see if that changes as time goes on.

FOOTBALL!

Mike has reached THE age. The age Joe has been waiting for since Mike was born. At the ripe old age of 5 Mike can finally play football! Full pads, full contact. The whole enchilada. Joe is one happy Dad. Mike loves it. Thank goodness, because they practice 4 nights a week for 2 hrs and have games on Saturday mornings at 8am. This would be one long fall if he decided he hated it!

We spent 10 days in Ireland. It was a great time! We started in Dublin and made a circle around the country. Our favorite spot was Kilkenny. There were so many fantastic spots we couldn't put all of the pictures up or tell all of the stories. Hopefully we'll get to go back again some day!

Summer Time!

Well, it's been a few months since I posted, but what I thought was going to be an uneventful summer turned out to be quite a busy one! Highlights include Aunt Carey and Uncle Barclay's visit in June and our trip to Indiana/Ireland!!
