Maybe this will help my success with Skype calls!! Ireland Time... A clock for those of us (ME!) who can NEVER figure out the time difference!! ...and here is the USA time...for comparison...

This is what we love to do these days...throw all the cushions on the floor and climb all over the couch. Sean loves it too and is so funny!

The more pillows I throw on him, the better!

Hey Bee, Thanks for uploading all these great pics to face book...hope you don't mind that I stole them...since I never seem to remember my camera anymore ; )

Below are some pics from our recent camping trip (So glad you could be there Erin!) and then some older pics of 2 precious boys!


Do you just want to kiss that little face OR WHAT!?

XOXO Love you Aunt Kathy and Poppa ; )
(Thanks for watching us on the 24th Aunt Kathy!!)



So precious!


Aunt Kathy sure is brave - kissin' all that cracker!

S'mores...yummy!

Some older ones...


Kellan's Easter Egg Hunt...such fun!
-----------------------------------------------------
And now - a real trip down memory lane...

Oh, how much he's grown in a year!! XOXO
Em and Erin told me about Kellan's healthy breakfast when they were watching Kellan. They took very good care of him while Momma was at the hospital waiting for Baby Sean to arrive...

Baby Sean...oh so gorgeous!


And LOOK at the precious little dimple already appearing!


Kellan's look of uncertainty didn't last long...he adores his baby!

They are the such buddies...

We are counting down the days until our very special guests arrive...can't wait for your visit Granny and Granddad, Cousin Eve, Auntie Jennifer, and Uncle Stephen!! XOXO

Look...See...Finally - a NEW PICTURE!!

We were getting our carnival party things ready for Kelsey to borrow for her birthday bash...can't wait to see it on Sunday - it should be something special ; )

Very sorry that we've been MIA lately. We are in the "end of the year rush" trying to sort out all that needs to be done before we can wrap up the school year. All that while spending every possible minute outside with the boys.
(I must add that Kellan and I were looking at the above pic of Sean and Kellan laughed out loud...he said "Oh, look at Donnie cute...he cheeky!")

Seanie made a BIG mess with his dinner tonight!


Then we took a bike ride...the boys LOVE the new bike trailer that the Perretta family gave us. Seanie does not like it when we are sitting still, but the second we start moving...he is happy as can be ; )


At this point...we were NOT moving = Poor Sean...Happy Kellan ; )
(clearly, we didn't clean faces after dinner before we left for our ride)

Check out the AMAZING birthday gift that arrived yesterday from some very special family!! A HUGE "thank you" to the Baxters (thanks Mike, Jess, Franceska, Bryce, and Kelsey!), Gensers (Thank you Ian and Chantelle, Emily, and Erin!), Bogarts (Thanks much Aunt Dianna and Tom!), Bakers (Adam, Carrie, -- you will have to come over to play William, Emma and Daniel!), and Bakers (Stan, Kristy, -- come visit us Owen and Logan!)

Of all the toys in the backyard, Daddy would have liked this one the best!!


The very "BEST-EST" part of the gift...IT CAME ASSEMBLED!!
We know it was a BIG job Ian...thank you soooooooo much!! XOXO

I'm sorry all...these are in a terrible order, but I am having a difficult time getting things to post, and I think it is more important that you get to see the pics - so I decided to give up on trying to get the order just right.
Here is Seanie boy surfing his walker with a "Goldfish" cracker in his mouth and his brother's size 3t shirt on...
We had 3 of the LeBlanc boys here tonight for a couple hours...things got pretty fun with 5 boys in the house ; )


These pics took place before the rain started and we all headed indoors...fun with the water table the boys got for their birthday...thanks so much Scott, Christine, and Gwendolyn!!

Raphael helped the boys fill the water table...

...and Sean did his best to empty it...he was SOAKED!!

Mathis and Kellan had a very exciting lacrosse game in the living room. I'm sure I have much more of this to look forward to ; )

the tugboat...I'm sure that Sean will have his 'payback' ; )

Here are a few pics from outside tonight (I hope to follow up with a little video of the same). The weather was perfect today. We have been CrAzY busy lately, but I had to post something!!

We love you all,
XOXO Katie, Kellan and Sean

The boys each got new toothbrushes!

Kellan loves to walk around the trail...."I-me walk on the grass Momma?"
Farmer/Pirate Seanie helped me plant some flowers while Kellan napped over the weekend.



Kellan has continued to play with Carnival things after the "big event"

Here are our birthday boys in our "photo booth"... lots of fun ; )

Wow...what an event. I hardly know what to do with all my free time - now that the party planning is done. I think I'll take up gardening ; ) There were not all that many photos of the party, but here are a few...with the rest of the pics in a video to follow : )

We had a very nice time and appreciate everyone coming to celebrate with the boys! We missed our family who could not come, but we can't wait to see you soon!! The weather was pretty "unpredictable" with hail, rain, and sunshine intermittently?! We did get outside a bit, but it worked out wonderfully to have the party inside...very COZY!

Love to you all, Katie and the boys

Just in time for the birthday party, a package arrived from Granny and Granddad Barry - it had a very handsome new top for Kellan and he LOVED it : ) (It also smelled very nicely of Granny's perfume--ahhh) Thanks to you, he was all dressed up for his party! Sadly, Sean could not wear his outfit (the cutest little short set ever...). We'll be sure to post a pic of it when the weather warms up!!
Thank you Granny and Granddad!! XOXO



We know that you are very proud of these special boys Daddy! XOXO

The swingset has landed!

For some reason, I'm not able to "fix" the pics in the earlier post, so I will put the ones that did not work up here... xox, us

Well, I left for work yesterday morning with a pile of wood in the side lawn and when I arrived home - our swing set (AWESOME...and from www.kidscreations.com) was up and ready for play! There was no hiding this set from a very observant 3 year old!! Sooo...we "broke it in" for a few hours before we HAD to go in to bed. Kellan is really enjoying his set and so am I! It is really perfect and we have to say a HUGE thank you to Ian, Adam, Mike, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Everett for making it happen. There is no way we could have gotten it done if left on our own!! I think that my favorite part of all is the exact location you chose for the tower! It is just between our cedar (?!) tree and the neighbors (?) tree. It feels very much like a tree house when we are up there and it's just perfect! Thank you all so very much!
