HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZIE!!!!!

Dear Suzie....I have made several attempts today to get this birthday wish posted, however, I think that I may need some "blogging lessons".

Hope you have a GREAT day and a very WONDERFUL year!

Love, "The Babysitter From Hell!!!" (JK - just kidding)

Closing Time

Well, we bought a condo in Jersey City. We FINALLY closed today! That's all I have to say right now. Seems pretty crazy, It hardly seems real .... but the bill sure brings it all home.
I'd post my new address but "they" say it's not a good idea to do that. Here are pics:

Yes, it's smaller than some bedrooms. It's only 640 sq. feet, but it has a deck!

Here is our little super star dancer!

Happy Mother's Day!

Since I am the first one to experience mother's day here in NZ, let me be the first to wish all of our wonderful mothers, grandmother, aunts and great aunts a Happy Mothers' Day! And an extra special one to Kelly on her first ever mum's day!!!!

You're all a great bunch of gals...and quite good lookin' to boot...and have done a wonderful job raising some terriffic, interesting (to say the least children).

This quote is somewhat self-serving, but I think you'll understand the sentiments as it works both ways:
"She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children, but because of the friendship formed while raising them" (from "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Marquez).

Have a wonderful day and eat lots of pancakes (that seems like a mothers' day kind of food).

Cheers,
Meghan

Stop Having Babies!!!

I would just like to request that all of you please stop having babies. There was a time when I was not only the cutest baby in the world, but also the baby of this family and, perhaps, the most cherished among us in grandma's eyes.

I would therefore appreciate it if you would all stop having children to usurp my position (ahem...Jean, Corrie, Kelly...and don't go getting any ideas, Laurie!). That is all.

Thank you for your time and consideration and if you can think of any ways to remedy this matter, do let us know.

Yours in New Zealand,
Meghan O'Neill Mahoney
PS: I hope you all know that I'm joking and I'm very happy for you and your children (though I am a bit miffed that Kelly did not follow my advice and name her daughter Meghan). Also, check out my own blog which has been recently updated. Love you all!

Happy Birthday Sean!

April 17th and One More for "Aries" -- Your horoscope says: You'll have a great day and you rock!
We love you. Love, Mom and Dad, Erin, Laurie and Brian.

Everybody Party...

It's aunt Kathy's birthday!

Happy Birthday Aunt Kathy!

Happy Birthday Devin O. Mahoney!

Happy Birthday, Devin O'Neill Mahoney!!!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful son! Cherish this day, Devin for it is a celebration of YOU and the wonderous gift you are to us...and to the world.

It's sunny and warm here today....unlike the day of your birth which was snowing...for the third day following a blizzard! Of course...now you're warm in CA pursuing your dream!

"human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but...life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves..." Gabriel Garcia Marquez

You inspire in the way that you've chosen to nurture your passion...to reinvent and continually give birth to yourself to live your dream and in having the "courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are" e.e. cummings

We love you and we cherish the gift that you've been and continue to be in our lives.

Love,
Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday Papa Bull! April 1, 1918- July 17, 1976

Remembering Daddy on his birthday....oh and all of the times we teased him mercilessly about being born on April Fools Day!

Hard to imagine....what do you think he'd have been like at age 88?!

Happy Birthday, Dad....we love you!

Happy Birthday MB!!!!

A big Happy Birthday to MB on this beautiful spring day!!!!

Fair turnabout

Hi all,

This may be a day late and a dollar short...since they're feeling better each day...but since grandma's always praying for each and all of you (and the various intentions you bring to her attention for her powerful prayers) I thought it might be nice if each of you keep HER and Pete in your prayers....the colds they developed last week turned into pneumonia....they're on the mend now and feeling much better... but i'm sure will appreciate your prayers and well wishes....so keep them in your thoughts and prayers....and maybe even send them a little note to let them know you're doing so!
Thanks!

....and Happy Spring (I'd have put this in as a separate thought but Devin's imposed a one message limit on me!).

Love you all!
Kathy
