Laura's Ears and then some











The beautiful ear has been punctured. She woke up early this morning and kept asking over and over when she was going. Kara ultimately came by and brought her. They did both her ears at once. From what I hear she said ouch and then moved on. She is holding up all the extra earrings she got.


Catherine sees the big deal that everyone is making about the earrings and now she informs me that it is her 6th birthday and she wants me to warm up the car and bring her to the ear place. So....what started as waiting till the girls turn 12 is now turning into me caving into Laura's 6th and Catherine at age 3.


Jimmy had Zach and Parker sleeping over last night, Laura got to sleep on the top bunk in Jimmy's bed. The turkey's slept on the living room floor with Jack waking up at 4am for good...The boys behaved pretty well.


Uncle Patrick came over yesterday with a bunch of books for Jimmy. I had no idea what they were but when Jimmy saw them he was jumping for joy. They are called Matthew Christopher books and he knew all about them. He and the boys were reading them last night before bed while watching the Bruins. It was an exciting Bruins game for to have some of his buddies over for. Lots of scoring and lots of fights.


In other subjects, the Keurig coffee machine is the greatest thing ever invented. I thumb my nose at that Dunkin Donuts place while driving by. We get our fix at home now. If youre coming over, bring the light cream.


Jack is cutting down on our supply of bandaids on a nightly basis. We have to give him a small bandaid on his finger and then kiss it all better. All the kids have done that at one time or another. Catherine still does but not as much. Its amazing what a bandaid can cure.


Umple Eddie came over on Sunday for the football games. We have to get him a better chair. When he lies back on the recliner he sometimes gets excited and tips it over. The last time Jimmy helped him down and almost lost his foot doing it. Uncle Timmy came over today too to pick up Parker and I ended up putting him to work fixing Laura's bed. What else are brothers for. Patrick was also over both days of the weekend taking care of the leaves. Parker kept Jimmy busy the whole day playing baseball and going to watch Clayton play in a football tourney. Jimmy is going to add football to his list of sports next year...hopefully the year after that but I know he'll be asking for next year.

Eddie wants us all to go to Camden yards next year for a baseball game. A couple of pictures left from Laura's birthday celebration.
