THE CRAZY MONTH

Its been awhile since my last post, so as you can imagine ... things have begun to get crazy here in the Lee household! My sister-in-law Maureen and nephews Jackson and Ben came to visit us last week! It was so great to see all of them and introduce them to Declan. Jack and Ben were absolutely adorable with him! They were hugging and comforting him and wanting to hold him a bunch! I think they're ready for a baby brother or sister (Ger - I think we increased Maureen's "baby itch" a bit more).



Maureen, her boys, my boys and I traveled up to Naperville to visit Lauren, Jim, Griffin and Owen. It was such a blast to see (for the first time) all 6 grandsons together! They had a blast and played so well together. I think we all are so lucky to have such fun-loving and adventurous little tykes! The future is going to bring a ton of fun and fantastic memories! Lauren and Jim's house (and yard) are gorgeous! They have done such beautiful things to their new home! Not to mention that Naperville (aka Pleasantville) is an UNBELIEVABLE place for families! Lauren was kind enough to show us and our kids a great time by taking us downtown and to Centennial Park. Being together like that really makes me wish we all lived near each other. Perhaps someday we will ....

On Saturday my family split into two. Declan and I drove up to Columbus for my friend Emily's baby shower while Matthew and Matt stayed home and went to the zoo. The shower was awesome (Emily looks gorgeous) and Matthew's "day with daddy" was exactly what he needed. We reconvened on Sunday and enjoyed the day celebrating Declan's 1 MONTH on earth. It's nuts that he's already a month old!

Stay tuned for more posted pics this week!
