catching up





so it's been a while we've posted....Michawn informed me that proper blog etiquette requires a posting at least once a week... we'll try to be more responsible bloggers...
Mom and Dad McMannus (known to their grandkids as Abuelo and Abuela) came to visit us for the last week, we had a really great time just spending time together which mostly involved Jonh and I trying to figure out why Joe and July were laughing hysterically. Mom brought Joe a jar of fart putty which was the main event for them... I will be looking to subtly make the jar get "lost" at the soonest possible opportunity. Friday afternoon after I dropped Mom and Dad off at the airport, Micah and I came home and the house felt very empty and quiet. We miss you and can't wait to see you again! (Micah especially misses the long walks with Abuelo).
Joe had his 27th birthday party last month, of course, Tink believes she has the rights to every birthday cake blowing out event :) she was a great help because it is doubtful that Joe would have managed to blow out ALL his candles on his own and might have forfeited his birthday wish...
At such a young age Micah already owns more Red Sox paraphernalia than anyone i know. Joe got him all dressed up for the upcoming games against the Yankees. As soon as he was dressed Micah spit up all over his new outfit, which of course was an omen of what was to come... Red Sox lost all three games to the Yanks.... bummer.. Joe was very distraught, but has since recovered.... in my more devious moments i have contemplated secretely buying a Yankees outfit for Micah and dressing him up in it... that of course might have a severe impact on Joes emotional health... ok this is a ridiculously long post. in honor of my Pennsylvania dutch family, lets just say this blog is ALL.



Micah already getting alot of female attention at Josh's birthday party. Sorry Josh, looks like Micah stole the spotlight at your party :)

no, you don't get it... the word 'all' to a pennsylvania dutchman has significant meaning. 'All' is absolute, it means it's done, over, finished... 'all' needs no qualification or further dialogue. 'All' is all-inclusive and unto itself complete. You obviously need educating!!!
