You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

A recap

With all the craziness of trying to get ready for Meghan and Tim's big day I didn't have time to blog last week.

Last Tuesday (a week from today) Julia started Irish Step dancing class at the Mulcahy Academy of Irish Dance. It's been a long road for Erin but the opening day was finally here. Julia glowed as she danced. And all week was skipping around the house and would show off her dancing for anyone that asked. Here is a picture of the first ever class.


Julia also had her last soccer game on Wed. She was excited to get her first trophy ever! After the game Joe, Julia, Sandra, Kara, Reillyn, and I went back to my in laws for dinner. It was becoming a nice tradition to go over for dinner after the games every Wed. I wonder if we are invited over tomorrow?

Other than breaking down and finally admitting that it's cold by buying our winter coats, that's about it. As of Nov 1 we will be able to relax. It's nice to have a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe we can get some much needed renovations done.

Until next time...

Meghan and Tim get married!

On Saturday Meghan and Tim got married. Meghan is my 2nd to youngest cousin on my mom's side of the family. Also she is my dad's goddaughter. The day was beautiful and so much fun. Joe and I didn't get home until almost 3am! Meghan and Tim asked Julia to be one of the flower girls. These pictures are out of order I know. Some are a little blurry too. My camera had a little tude. But some are better than nothing.
