November

In November I was fortunate to have more family come out to visit us.

My parents were able to make a side trip to DC during a business trip in Chicago (how they made that work, I don't know, and don't care). My brother Michael and his wife came down from Philly to visit as well. So we scheduled the baby blessing to be during that time as my parents were not able to be there for the birth. Below are the pictures from the baby blessing:

It really was wonderful having them here. 

Then we had KB's birthday the next week. He turned 3!!!! I can't believe it. I also can't believe we're a family of 4...so...yeah.

The kid can NOT keep his eyes open for pictures. It drives me nuts, but it's endearing at the same time.....most of the time :) 

Yes, I made the cake. Yes, it was worth the work after seeing his smile :) 

Patrick enjoyed Kiernan's birthdy as well :) 

Patrick also began smiling this month :)
