Free? What?

That's right folks! While blog hopping the other day, I came across this wonderful offer. Suzy from Jack and Jill Photography is offering FREE digital Christmas Card Designs to anyone and everyone who is interested (she will create a free custom made digital file and email it to you...after you receive the file, you can have your cards printed out anywhere you little heart desires...pretty cool, huh?).

Only catch...you must have a BLOG and of course you must post a little snippet about Suzy and her wonderful offer for others to see!
Please visit her blog at http://joeyandsuzycarlson.blogspot.com/2008/09/family-picture-time.html to get all the great details!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
(uh...a little early!)

Check it out!

Take a quick look at Aidan Jo's blog site for some more cute photos of the little pair from this past weekend . . . there is also a cute little video! The link is to the side :)

Sunday = football = Chicago Bears

Eoin and Daddy in their attire . . . they are talking about the game to each other :)

We are big football fans, especially Chicago Bears . . . last week we had a great game, unfortunately the Bears blew a pretty nice lead this week against Carolina leaving a 1-1 season so far . . . nevertheless Eoin will be growing up a Bears fan and he already has some pretty cute fan apparrel; I actually think he is the cutest fan around. Well, perhaps things will look up next game and Orton might be able to complete further than a 5 yard pass (I'm just sayin')

Wedding Bells for Mike and Jacyln

On Saturday we attended the wedding of two friends. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Sprague . . . Eoin attened with us, and he was a big hit!

Bathtime with my cousin

Aidan splashes, she loves the tub ;)

Ashley, Nick and Aidan came into town this weekend and Friday night the cousins got to spend some quality time together in the tub . . . Aidan loves the water and splashes around, she was trying to teach her cousin, but he is a little too mild mannered. They are so cute :)

3 months old!

cuddling with Daddy on the weekend . . . don't they look so much alike?

the lil' pumpkin sure does love to sleep ;)

Today Eoin is 3 months old! I can hardly believe it . . . my baby is growing up too fast . . . I'm sure I will make this statement on all of his birthdays. He is so smiley and happy and talkative these days. My favorite time of day is in the morning; before Jordan leaves for work he goes and gets Eoin and places him in the bed next to me and we snuggle for a 1/2 hour before I have to get up and get ready and then he sleeps in my spot while I get ready. He usually wakes up and then falls right back to sleep at the sound of my blowdryer. He is such a cuddler.

Happy Birthday, Nana!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful mom, mother-in-law, and nana :) We miss you so much everyday and treasure our time together.

Labor Day weekend

Eoin started to look alive :) he has outgrown the other part of his stroller; this was the first day using this part and he seemed to like being able to look around
Uncle Jordan helped McKaylah feed the ducks

feeding the ducks :)

For the extended weekend our little family ventured up to Lake Villa for a visit. We got to see Nana Brown and Kelly and of course lil' miss McKaylah. On Saturday we relaxed after the long drive, but Sunday we took a trip to Long Grove historic village and walked around the little shops and enjoyed the day; they had an Irish festival in progress also :) We ate lunch at a cute little restaurant that was on a pond and Jordan helped McKaylah feed some ducks. It was a great time; we really need to make it up there more often.
