Catch Up

We've been so busy lately (and I've been so tired) that I haven't updated the blog in a while, so here you go. As usual, I had a hard time picking out the pictures, so there are lots of them :)

We visited West Palm a couple weeks ago to see some family before we head over to England. It was Aine's first flight and she did great. In fact she slept most of the way. It was so wonderful to see family and watch Leah and Aine interact with their cousins: Jillian, Kristen and Mitch.

I'm short on time now, so you get the condensed version :)



She eats like me :)

In West Palm, my dad showed Leah how to do a puzzle and she LOVED it. So we got her one when we got back to ABQ. Here she is after finishing it (mostly on her own)...


With Kate and then dad and their masterpiece jack-o-lanterns...


I put this on here because I love both of their expressions...

I have to brag on my dad a bit here. He MADE this! He had a bare piece of wood that he carved, shaped, sanded and painted. He made all the smokestacks, handrails...everything. Isn't it great?!


Rob and Alys had us over to their house and so we got to visit with my mom and Aunt Linda. (Most of the rest of the family showed up too.) The girls had a blast. Alys and Heather schooled us all on how to hula hoop. Leah was trying her hardest, but couldn't seem to grasp it.

The girls with my mom...
Kisses for Grandma...

Aine and Kristen are only a month apart. Kristen is a...big...girl. They looked like David and Goliath next to each other. :)

Aine is fascinated with airplanes flying overhead, and since Alys and Rob live near PBI...there was plenty of aircraft activity.

The cousins: Mitch, Jillian, Leah, Kristin and Aine. Thank Mitch for humoring me with this picture.

Our group at Rob and Alys' house...

We went to the Breakers for lunch one afternoon and then let the girls run around on the open lawn.

Tackle....Leah better get it out of her system now because when AIne gets a little older it's going to be a different situation,


Stopping to smell the flowers...





Kisses...




I think this one is too cute. She's walking around the Breakers dragging Leah's purse around like she owned the place...



Leah and Jillian at the hibachi restautant. Here they are sticking out their tongues...


I remember hiding and playing under the pool table when I was little, so this really tickled me :)

Aine giving Kristen a kiss...



Janice met us in Pt St Lucie and we had some lunch. Leah was not in the mood to have her picture taken.

Bill and Cynthia had us over for dinner...

Showing off all her teeth...

More kisses for daddy...

Working on the puzzle. Aine wasn't much of a help...

Saying night night to daddy...

Aine passed out on the airplane...


Yikes...someone is a mess!
We stayed a couple days this week with Eric's cousins, Gary and Lynne. The trees are changing colors right now and look amazing against the red rock. Beautiful!

Oh Yahhh, lookin' good!
