His I Am poem from the beginning of this school year (7th grade)
Jack
Stubborn, Comical, Clumsy
Who loves a well-played baseball game, his amazing, wonderful family and any kind of Lego brick.
Who feels the Yankees should die off and leave New York, the US should run a British style Parliament, and that ice cream should be considered a real dinner.
Who finds happiness in being with his wacky friends, reading a good book and going to church.
Who needs the Mets to win 30 consecutive World Series against the Yankees and go to an Ivy League school.
Who fears Communist aggression, wiry, coiled, man-eating snakes and being alone in the middle of the ocean.
Who would like one million dollars, a delectable fudge-filled brownie (yum) and equal human rights for everyone.
Who enjoys baseball, history, and most of all – being himself.
Resident of the tri-state area.
He’s definitely full of opinions. Love my boy- my first born, the one who always wants everyone to be nice and fair, who trips over air, and who is always ‘red’.

…and the rest of Timmy’s birthday vegetable
It’s a family tradition to have a candle in every meal of the day on your birthday.
In the Carvel on the night of his party:
At breakfast in his Cheerios on his actual birthday:
Picked him up for lunch for a date and he had Subway. With a candle.
And his dinner request was sushi. The waitresses were pretty confused when I asked for a lighter for the candle for the dinner. They thought it should go in dessert. Wrong. Nothing says happy 7th birthday like a yellowtail roll with a candle in it.

the start of Timmy’s birthday vegetable
Timmy celebrated his 7th birthday this week, and we kicked it off with a BounceU party in Oceanside on Saturday morning. (for those of you new to the blog, it’s called a birthday vegetable because when Timmy was little he couldn’t say birthday festival. All the boys birthday’s have always been a week long event, hence the festival/vegetable).
The three amigos.
Crazyboys.
They broke out the gladiator ring and Jayson and Jack went head to head. It did not end well for Jack.
Timmy and Jack N. best of friends and fierce competitors.
Patrick vs. Brendan (Patrick in Giants jersey, Brendan in Patriots. Kinda went the same way the superbowl did.) And twin vs. twin on the right. Jack kept getting knocked down so after the 2nd time he decided that everytime he fell he’d just take Patrick down with him. 
Inseperable. They were no more than a foot apart the whole party.
Checkin out the loot.
BounceU puts on a great party. Timmy had a great time with all his friends (we went boys only this year). And somehow I didn’t get a single picture of TimTom (Timmy and his cousin Tommy) together even though they were at the party together, they came over the house after the party and we all went out to dinner together. Sometimes I’m just off my game. Back tomorrow with more of the birthday vegetable.

robin & her littles
Came by last week for a visit. It was the kids’ first time at our house and after a bit of settling in, they seemed to like it here just fine. Especially after the boys all came home from school and they were fully entertained!
I cannot believe Robin has 3 under 3 years old. Eoin will be 3 in a few months and is doing so wonderfully. He truly is the miracle baby. Evelyn & Elizabeth are now 6 months old and growing so fast. And teething a bunch too. But very happy babies and pretty identical!!
Elizabeth (I think).
Evelyn. 
The best shot I could manage of all 3. 
Robin and her total day to day chaos. 
Twins and twins. I always KNEW Robin would have twins. 
And Eoin. Laughing at the big boys. 
Took all the pictures in my new office. Great light in there and the couch is just the right size for small people.
