Take me out to the ballgame!

On Monday night we met Brooke and her kids and drove to the Mariners game. It was about 95 degrees that day in Seattle - thank goodness our seats were in the shade. The kids were all very good but we left before the 7th inning stretch.

On July 20th, I had to go to Atlanta for a work conference, so Sean and Brennan set out to drive to Montana to be with his family while I was out of town. They drove straight through, and Brennan did a GREAT job traveling in the car. He watched movies on the ipod - Cars & Monsters Inc. On Wednesday of that week, Erin, Sean Patrick, and Kade flew in from Minnesota. Brennan had a great time playing with his cousin's. On Friday, Gabe and Maggie Brennan, and Sean's sister Molly all came to the cabin for a sing-a-long. The Brennan's are fameous for their sing-a-longs, and Brennan had a blast playing with the all the instruments they brought along. I will post some videos later. Sean and Brennan drove home on Saturday and got home just an hour after I got home from the airport. They had a fun adventure was Mama was sure happy to see her baby!

Summer Fun with Nolan

We had a great time playing with Nolan in mid- July.....Phyllis bought this great play thing for his birthday party, and the boys had a blast playing in the water. One of the pictures is of Nolan's diaper - it "exploded" because it got filled with water. Nolan didn't know what to think about having that on his little body. It was pretty funny....
