Brendan spends the night

Brendan is spending the night while his parents and big brother Declan are traveling. We spent the day at the Phoenix Zoo and came home and took a 2 hour nap. After the nap, we ate a well deserved pizza dinner. Here is a picture of Brendan after a much needed bath.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Mike and I took J.P. to his first ballgame today. The Cleveland Indians have relocated from Winterhaven, FL. to Goodyear, AZ. As expected the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 5-4. Michael is still explaining to J.P. how the Bulls will come back and be great once again. At least J.P. can have his win today!

J.P spent half the game in in Chicago gear and one half in Cleveland Indians Gear. Although I think he received the most compliments in his Cleveland Indians hat and outfit.

Here is J.P. with Mike sporting his Chicago Cubs gear.

J.P met Hall of Famer Bob Feller and received an autographed baseball. I just wished he would have looked up for the picture.

Always Smiling!

J.P. always manages to have a smile on his face, even when he has double ear infections. He is also practicing his biting technique on Mike and I when ever he gets a chance. Toes are a current favorite!

Happy Birthday Delcan!

The Phoenix Zoo

We took J.P. to the Phoenix Zoo on Saturday. J.P. seemed to like watching all the animals...in particular one Orangutan named Michael.

Taking a shot with Mom and Dad.

J.P.'s first ride on the carousal!

Baby Girl Garvey

19 weeks and counting..... Here are the fist pictures of Baby Girl Garvey. The ultrasound tech said she is very active like her older brother. J.P. Michael and I were overwhelmed during the ultrasound. Everything looks great and baby is very healthy!




















Daddy's large cranium




















Mommy's chicken legs!

10 perfect toes!

Happy New Years!

Now that 2008 is over it sort of flew by... Didn't quite feel like that a few months back but with the birth of JP the year treated us really well. Should be another good year in 2009 and we have much to look forward to.

Mary Q's 2 week vacation is coming to a close, but she has had a nice break and JP loves having his mom around to take care of him. Hopefully next year, he'll have her home to watch him full time.

A few days shy of 7 month's, JP is really starting to make leaps and bounds in his development. Only a few weeks back, Mary was running errands and I was sitting on the floor with him and sat him up only to turn my eyes momentarily and have him tumble over and smack his head on the floor. Now he sits with no problem, is a proficient crawling and is pulling himself up to stand any chance he gets. The woman who watches him has often mentioned how active he is and with his new abilities she will have her hands full come Monday.

Some recent pictures of our baby(s)

In a Cavs hat? His mom thinks he will be rooting for Cleveland teams - Highly unlikely. He does look pretty good in a cap though.

Always a smile on his face, JP is overall is just a really happy baby.

Princess Gracie was treated very well by her Mom after we abandoned her for a week with our trip to Cleveland for Christmas.
