Halloween

Anne continued the fine tradition of home made costumes this year (hmmm -- just occurs to me that starting next Halloween, she will have to make two costumes every year).

As a refresher Cian has been Elvis, Thomas the tank, a dinosaur, a dragon and this year he was a bat. Amazing what you can do with a black umbrella and a sweatshirt (and a whole lot of creativity), eh?

 

Soccer with Nonno

Our recent trip to New Mexico was a blast -- and one of the highlights was Cian's soccer games with Nonno. See below for all the fun:

Feast or Famine...

Well it seems there is a pattern on this blog -- feast or famine.

It's been 6 -7 weeks since I have posted anything -- and the stuff you want to blog about just gets more and more -- and the inclination to actually get up off my arse to do it, gets less and less.
Oh well -- today saw me upload a bunch of new photos so get ready for some updates....

The weird part of this update is actually sitting here typing it. It's the type of news you want to tell people -- no I mean in person. The good old fashioned way. Face to face. See the surprise. Feel arms wrap around you.
Which of course, we have experienced with lots of folks. And if you see us any of these days you'd guess the news anyway.
So...
Cian becomes a big brother next April.

We are all thrilled by it -- although Anne has had a rough time of in the last few weeks months. We are at about week 15 or so now. All in all very exciting.

I can't wait -- and am happy to be able to experience this journey again. Those who know me well enough, know how much this means to me.

I could gush on and on -- but I'll save that for the real conversations....

'nuff said.
