Happy Birthday Papa (Brian)!

On March 1st, we celebrated Brian's 34th birthday...Brennan's first birthday celebration and one of many to come. Brennan picked out a cool pair of Nike Dunks to add to Papa's collection.

 Happy birthday to the love of my life...I look forward to many more birthday celebrations together!

5 months old!

It's hard to believe Brennan is 5 months old already and that in a few short weeks, he'll be half a year...time is flying by! At his 5 month check-up, he weighed 12 pounds!

I'm a big boy now!

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

February 18th was my dad's 60th birthday...what a milestone for a man who has achieved so much! A huge heartfelt congratulations to my dad for receiving the 2011 R.I.T. Distinguished Alumni Award...we are so proud of you! 

Splish Splash Brennan's Takin' a Bath!

The days of Brennan not liking the bath are long gone...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Since we've been home...

We returned back to Dublin on February 1st and faced our most challenging task as parents...helping Brennan adjust to the time zone change. For 5 days he literally went to bed between 3:30-5:00am, needless to say, Brian and I were exhausted! We were grateful when he was finally able to fall asleep at his regular time; however, it seems that his sleep pattern has changed and while he was sleeping 5-6 hour stretches, he now wakes every 2 hours. Fingers crossed this is a phase...please let this be a phase. 

Pancake Breakfast

Thanks to Michel and Rachel, we hosted a pancake breakfast...our chefs were wonderful! Brian and Michel prepared a wonderful feast of blueberry pancakes, fruit, OJ, specially made lattes...the works! We were pampered and treated with so much love!

 It's so good to be back home with friends...miss you tremendously!!

Leann, you're the apple of my eye!! :)

Shauna and adorable Maeve!
