Where have we been for the last 5 months?

Iiieya! Where have we been for the last 5 months??? Bad blogging family.

Quickie recap:
June - trip to Chicago. Visiting lots of peeps. Declan gets to meet Grandma Mary for the first time. Yay! Pat and I leave the kidlets with grandparents and head to Pittsburgh for a wedding. Pat completes the 2nd year of his 3 year fellowship.

July - 4th of July at Lake Geneva. Declan meets the Seuberts - much fun. Paddy turns 2! Paddy gets his first haircut. Pat = happy. Me = sad. :-(

August - We enjoy the warm weather in St. Paul. We also leave the kids with Aunt Anne and Mema and Papa while we head to D.C for Erik and Dorsa's wedding! We have a wonderful trip, enjoy the wedding, and see some sights in DC. We also get new windows in our town house. That's a lot less exciting than you think. Paddy and Declan begin sharing a room. We are greeted each morning with the following: "WAKE UP BABY DECLAN!!"

September - Pat starts interviewing for jobs. Everyone hope for good news on this front. Declan begins crawling - seriously, we weren't ready for this. He's only 5 months old - he's not supposed to crawl yet. We've tried to convince Paddy he should sleep until the sun comes up in the morning (I refuse to accept a wake up time prior to 6am). We are now greeted each morning with the following: "WAKE UP SUN! WAKE UP!"

October - Pat is still interviewing. This is good. Pat and Linda visit St. Paul and the Pat's run a marathon. We had our first snow fall - BOO. We made a snowman, in October, this stinks. Pat spent a weekend in South Carolina while we were making snowmen. This is not fair. I took my first solo roadtrip with the Foy boys. We drove to Chicago to spend the weekend visiting while Pat was in South Bend at the ND game. The trip out went great. Lots of sleeping. Lots of Wheels on the Bus (5 hours on repeat, I'm beginning to hate that song).
