exhausted

This pretty much sums up how we all felt last night and today.

And tomorrow we head back up to Baltimore!

Went to the SoCo neighborhood in Austin today. We are so not hip enough to live there.


Gallery is updated with photos.

Lazy Day
Monday was a lazy day with the kids going to school and Pat and Steph working. We just hung around the house, but still had some fun:



And got some work done:

Sunday Activities
Yesterday we went to Mission San José.



and did some kite flying.



Pictures are being updated daily (so far) in the latest San Antonio album.

Bridget also has a new album, but it is currently only populated with pictures of her from this trip.

Nice Weather Here


In San Antonio for a week visiting Pat and Steph and the kids. The weather today was excellent, and I'm even considering changing into shorts at some point. Maybe tomorrow.

Pictures from Hannah's soccer game this morning are in the gallery. We'll try to update as the week goes on.

choo choo!
Since we didn't have anything going on yesterday, I thought it might be nice to take Bridget to a train garden. I just assumed that it was a common thing everywhere. Apparently not. It seems like it might be a Maryland/Baltimore thing. I could not find a single one in Virginia. I just thought it was something Volunteer Fire Departments did. Not so much. We'll have to hit up the AVFD when we go to my parents' next weekend.

pain
I was trying to get some work done out in the yard this weekend -- just some weeding and such -- and what do you know, I pulled a few muscles in my back. At first, I couldn't even walk. It's better now that Brendan got me some Thermacare back wraps.

I don't think I've got it as bad as my littlest brother. He got headed in the mouth and completely knocked out one of his front teeth. Poor thing. He's doing as well as can be expected. The tooth was saved, and he'll have to get surgery but it'll be OK.

28
Yup, I'm 28 as of tomorrow.

Nothing too big going on. Had a few people over last weekend (had a good time) -- and I'm glad we did it last weekend because tomorrow is supposed to be ridiculously hot! Brendan made me a nice (if just a little bit crooked) cake then, so there won't be one tomorrow. Sunday will be a family dinner out. Nothing crazy.

Some extra sleep tomorrow, a soccer match (even though it's without Benny) on TV and that's about it.

infrequent
How often does a conversation like this happen anymore:

Mom: Could you make a copy of Sgt. Pepper for your brother?
Me: I can't, sorry. I only have it on LP.

Here are a few photos from Easter. Brendan will get them all up in the gallery at some point.

It was not the best day for photos for Bridget. Here she is before church, a little grumpy because she's tired:*



And with the rest of the great-grandchildren and their grandfather (No one is having a good time here, except maybe Sam who slept through the whole thing):



Speaking of which, we did get to meet the newest member of the family, Sammy**. He looks like such a little man:

are you ready to blast off?

Bridget had her first plane ride this weekend. We went to Texas to visit Brendan's brother's family. She did really well. More photos and tales are coming...

Merry (belated) Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Bridget had no idea what was going on, but the rest of us enjoyed it. We spent Saturday with my mother, Sunday with Jessica's family, then Christmas day with just the three of us sitting around the house for some much needed rest. Bridget even took a couple of long naps (long=more than 45 minutes normally), each lasting about an hour-and-a-half. We consider this to be the "Christmas Miracle."

The naps gave us time to make and enjoy a partial Irish Breakfast (everything except for the puddings and beans, see picture below). That's not ham, it's a rasher (Irish bacon), and it's awesome. I even made the brown bread that morning.



You can also check out the disaster that used to be our living room:





Tons of pictures from all the visits and yesterday morning can be found in the Christmas 2006 gallery. Bridget has her own Christmas gallery, with a lot of extra pictures.

Hope everyone else had a good holiday. I, unfortunately, must work today.

bye

We will miss you, Granddad.

In his memory (and because I like to eat to make myself feel better), I give you my Grandfather's fudge recipie (complete with helpful notes!)
