James He is still keeping the baseball game alive. He takes a roster of all players that will be playing in his game in April. He saw Patrick keeping the scorebook at one of David's games so now Jimmy likes to set up a roster and where everyone will be playing. He asks everyong what position they want to play. Just about every morning before he goes to school we take the wiffle ball out onto the street and play catch. He pretends that we are turning double plays or that he is pitching and has to cover first. He was kind of mad when some leaves covered first base (sewer drain). The cap in the middle of the street is second base.
The Bruins have started though and last night he was up late sneaking peeks into the action.
Laura: Laura is still talking about our plans to go back to NYC next year. She has invited a bunch of girls from school to come with us as well as Erin and Emily and Catherine. She sees Jimmy doing his homework all the time so she has been practicing her letters and copying words that Daddy and Mommy write down for her. She is in Irish Step on Monday nights and she likes it alot. She also does dance on Tuesdays. She is getting taller and thankfully her hair is growing longer. She was getting a little jealous of Emily because of Emily's long hair. Laura has dads curly hair.
Catherine: Still a terror but a cute one. Her recent amusement was to stuff the bathroom sink with toilet paper and we know where the water went. She has been sleeping later thankfully but still manages to come into the bed in the morning. Last night she kept coming out of her bed until I told her that Biddy Baby misses her when she leaves her in the bed. It actually worked. either that or she wanted me to believe it worked. Laura still has some ear issues. I'm surprised the neighbors havent called DSS yet. There is quite a scene when the ear drops go in. She's got a good heart. She always wants to do something for you. If I were a beer guzzler, she would be the one i'd yell to to get me a beer out of the fridge.
Jack: Jack is still smiling away. He's not walking yet. I love it when I come home at night and he is flying across the room on his hands and knees. He screams out. The other day he was on my lap while I yelled for Jimmy to do something. Jack repeated after me but with just a loud yell as if he was saying the same thing to Jimmy. He smiles so much reminding me of how Jimmy was at that age. He's learning the itsy bitsy spider and loves playing games, clapping hands and giving me five. Poor buggah is having some teething problems but mommy's magic potion works wonders.
We got professional pictures taken last week. I wasnt able to attend the shoot (whew) but I heard they went well (not really). I dont think there was a group photo. The lady at the studio felt bad for Lyn so I think we got some free.

James: sounds like his old man. His Red Sox had a super year - lets hope his Bruins don't let him down!
Catherine: will most likely end up having THE most beautiful head of hair of all of her friends - just give it time.
Laura: you'll miss the days when she DOESNT climb into bed with you! about the ear drops - if she minds them or doesnt like he way they feel, try some liquid lidocaine first...
and little Jack: try rubbing whiskey on his gums!
You are SUCH a good Dad!
