Amy and her Boyz and Jenni came over yesterday and we grilled hamburgers. After lunch, we went to the pool. Lee was invited, but he didn't want to go. Jenni worked with Eamon a lot, he is such a little fish. He would jump off the side of the pool and dive down to fetch the torpedo. He starts swimming lessons today and I think he will do very well. Jenni is a great teacher and did such a good job with him.
Brady even loosened up after a while and jumped off the side of the pool into Amy's arms. He'll probably be a little fish too.
It's so much fun to watch these boys learn and grow. They are surrounded by poeple who love them so much.

Friday & Saturday
I picked the Boyz up from day care and met Ely and Lee at Taziki's for dinner. Amy joined us shortly. Ely was in town for a job interview at Regions Bank. Eamon came home with us and spent the night.
Eamon and I enjoyed the play, although Eamon was a little frightened by the troll (he was a little too scary for little kids, I thought). We had the opportunity to visit with the actors after the play, but Eamon wasn't interested in doing that. We all went to Taziki's afterwards, as is our custom, and had a nice lunch. Eamon had his usual grilled cheese sandwich.
After the play we went back to our house where Eamon split his time between playing with his cars and trucks and playing outside in the dirt. He can spend hours digging, sweeping and moving dirt from one part of the yard to the other. I just sit on the porch and watch and enjoy. He talks to his imaginary crew almost the whole time.
Ed and his friend, Patrick, picked him up around 2 to go to a birthday party. Right after they left, I took a nap.

Three Billy Goats Gruff
Eamon and I are going with my friend, Pat and her granddaughter, Sadie to see Three Billy Goats Gruff at the Children's Theater tomorrow morning. We've done this several times before. Sadie is one day older than Brady and they like their 'play' dates. After the play we will go out to lunch, probably Taziki's, that's where we usually go.
Hiatus
Well, seems like I've taken a hiatus from my blog the last half a year. Hard to believe it's been that long. So many things have happened during that time, I guess each one deserves it's own blog. Ethel died, I got pneumonia and spent a couple of days in the hospital. Thanksgiving and Christmas happened. In January, I got shingles, but I had it almost two weeks before it was correctly diagnosed. Took a while to get over that. My brother, Newell, had a stroke in January. He got very sick at the end of February and passed away in March. I'm sure I'm leaving some things out and will probably go back and fill in later.

Things That Make Me Smile
Last week, Amy got some of their winter clothes out of the attic. Eamon put on one of the hats and asked if Brady had one like it. Amy told him no, so he asked her if she could get him one. Then he said, no, call Mama Marie, she'll get him one, she buys me lots of stuff.
Sunday, Eamon was with Aunt Jen and he noticed he was getting holes in the knees of his pants. He told her to call Mama Marie and let her know.
As we were walking into church on Sunday, we were walking alongside of a lady we didn't know. In the time it took us to walk 10 feet, Eamon had told the woman that his daddy is a fire fighter and he helps people and he plays softball.

A PIRATE AND HIS PARROT
Eamon wanted to be a pirate for Halloween, so Amy decided Brady should be a parrot. She tried to get a picture of them sitting or standing side by side, but once again, that attempt was futile.
Oh, those wiggly boys!
Oh, and yes, I made both of their costumes.
A TALE OF TWO FROGS
I bought the Boyz some frog pajamas recently. They put them on after their baths Halloween night and I asked Amy to get a picture of them together wearing them. Well, she tried and this is what she got. Not exactly what I envisioned but by far, much funnier.
Oops we're missing one.
One up and one down.
One down, one sinking.
Sit up, Eamon.
That's better, but we can't see your face.
Somebody sit Brady up again.
No, Brady, stay on the chair.
This is better, but we can't see Brady's face.
One pretending to be asleep,the other on trying to get away.
Brady still trying to escape.
Hold on to him, Eamon.
Ok, I guess we're done.
