Easter 2006

Here's some general Easter pictures. Jacob found the Easterbaskets that the Easterbunny had left in our bathtub. We hosted Easter this year. Guests included Mary Ellen's Parents, Patrick's parents, Patrick's Sister Sherri and her Daughter, Patrick's Cousin Colleen, her Husband and their 2 daughters, and Patricks Cousin Kelly with his girlfriend Xandra. It was a nice day. We had an egg hunt in our back yard. Food was yummy. Everyone enjoyed.

Kmart Easter Bunny

This is the Easter Bunny that we saw at K-Mart. Does "Road-Kill" come to mind. All the kids look happy except for Ally. Sort of has a look like Stuey on Family Guy.
Is she thinking "What a rip-off!"

She had a bad day....

Ever have a day where you are mad at the world? Allison was having one and decided to plop mashed potatoes all through her hair. I think her teeth were bothering her at the time.

Susan's Wedding

Pat was an Usher at his college friend Susan's wedding. She married Jerry Knick in Richmond. Jacob and Rachel also attended. Allison stayed home with Nana and Grampa. Rachel fell in love with the Ring Bearer, Wade. Cut pic of them hugging.

Disney 2006

In January, Pat, Mary Ellen and Jacob had a 5 day trip to Walt Disney World. We surprised Jacob that we were going to fly. We didn't tell him until we approached the airport. We had a great time. We stayed at the cute and campy Pop Century Resort. Jacob loved all the thrill Rides. First evening we went to a Hawaiian Luau. Second Day we went to Epcot and rode the Soarin' ride and Mission to Mars twice and had dinner in Marrakesh. Third day we went to Animal Kingdom and DisneyQuest. Forth Day was Magic Kingdom. Last day was Disney MGM Studios. Great memories and great pictures.

Allison's 1st Birthday

In January Allison turned 1 year old. This is the habit of her Nana to require Mailbox pictures of the kids each year.

Christmas 2005

This year we spent Christmas at Mary Ellen's Parent's home in Pennsylvania.
It was a great time. Sarah and Jim Lynch, and David Hayward stopped by. Rachel and Jacob stayed with the the week after because Mary Ellen was scheduled for Gall Bladder Surgery. All went well with the surgery. Rachel & Grandma got sick in PA, but recovered eventually.

Jacob's 7th Birthday

Jacob had a party at Shadow Land Laser Tag. It was a spy theme -- hence the secret message on the cake.
Here's the text of his invitation:
