Bella spent a glorious winter day out in the snow. Where
was James? Hiding in the garage, where he found a nice
cozy spot in the red wagon to sit and wait until we got
sick of being outside. Isabella was very proud of her
"frosty" the snowman. I nicknamed him "blue eyes" for
his lovely "chalk" blue eyes! :-)

Below is a great photo of Grandpa, James & Father Dan taken this past week at New Melleray Abbey. Mom, James & Grandpa had a very nice visit with Father just before his 98th birthday.
It appears he's tired of potty training before he's even started!!
The below pictures were taken on Monday, May 23rd. After getting off the phone with a good friend, I was looking to round up the kids for a snack. Couldn't find James ANYWHERE! I knew he couldn't get out of the house, so I wasn't too worried. He wasn't anywhere upstairs - in the bedrooms or the office. I was expecting to find him in his room playing trains - since it was so quiet, but he wasn't there. He wasn't in the basement and not in the living, dining room or kitchen. I noticed the bathroom door was closed and the light was on. I thought, why would he be in there and be so quiet? Well, as you can see by the picture... when you're tired, I guess you'll cozy up to about anything! :)

Pictures taken at home & the 'Rocket' Park on May 9th & 10th, 2005

Isabella & James in their 2005 St. Patty's Day costumes made by Grandma Brophy.
I believe that third picture has James 'tis a bit sauced on the milk!
I believe this is a picture
of James acting out a scene from "The Quiet Man".
These two pictures were taken at breakfast time the morning of January 30th
Isabella was clowning it up for the camera in a cowgirl outfit Grandma Brophy bought her.
James was smiling as usual, that million dollar smile!
