Martial Arts


Our boys are now involved in Martial Arts. Their instructor is associated with "Kinect Martial Arts".

I NEVER thought that MY children would be in martial arts. I barely even knew about it when I was a child.

However, I have come to really appreciate how the boys are encouraged to set personal goals, be respectful to their parents and teachers, practice self-control and to be physically fit.


Seamus, Francis, and Liam just earned their Yellow belts!


Patrick and I will start classes next month.


Sure, I will feel silly in the uniform.

But, I am trying to encourage my boys to make physical fitness a priority.

Family exercise is the way to go, when there are so many needs to be met.

So.. for now.. we are walking at least 1 mile daily, and also taking martial arts! Fun!



Pil sung!

January 18, 2009: Timmy turns 6 months!


Timmy is still as sweet as can be!

6 Months of "Baby Bliss"!

Timmy is babbling and smiley.

Grabbing for toys.

Watching his brothers.

Showing no interest in sitting up or rolling.

He loves to lay on his tummy and suck his fingers, though!

In memory of Grandpa George



This video makes me think of our Grandpa who loved us very much--
but hated it when we played on the stairwell! We LOVED sliding down his carpeted stairs :)
This is currently the little boys' favorite before bed activity!
(Good way to settle down, ya know! LOL!)

This got us all laughing so hard! "How many w's is that?"
