Jim, Jean, Jake, Abby, & Brett
Someone is finally old enough to sleep in a big boy bed all by himself. We took Brett’s crib down last weekend and went to set up a bed for him that we got from one of Jean’s friends. As we were setting the bed up, we noticed it was too big for [...]

This weekend was actually an uneventful weekend for the McMenamin household. Friday night, both Jake and Abby had sleepovers. Jean was out with her Sacred Heart friends for a Mom’s night out, so Brett and I were home alone.
Saturday was on the quiet side. Jake came home in the morning from [...]

There was excitement in the house Tuesday night because we had a couple of visitors for the night. Aunt Kate and Hannah Jean slept over, and the kids were really excited. The bad news for Aunt Kate is that their focus was on Hannah, she was the star of the visit.

For once, our weekend wasn’t overly insane. Jean had a crazy day on Friday, starting with Hannah coming over to be babysat at 6:30 am. The kids only had a half a day of school, so Jean ran around with them as well as holding a Brownie meeting. Friday night finished with Erin visiting with [...]

We went to look at on Open House on Sunday, and we absolutely loved it. It’s in our friends neighborhood, the McGuigan’s, which we love. The lot on the house is perfect, back yard is exactly what we’re looking for, and the house sits right on a cul-de-sac. It’s exactly what we are looking for, [...]

Sunday, Brett went to see a train expo with Pop. Pop had sent him a newsclipping through the mail about the event, and said he would take Brett to see it. Brett wanted to call Pop as soon as we got home from church Sunday morning to remind him.
Before he left, I [...]

The LMC Christmas Party was on Saturday night. Yes, you’re reading it correctly, the Christmas Party was on January 7th. It’s the 3rd year in a row that my company’s done that, and the turnout continues to increase each year. I guess people just don’t have a crazy scheduled in January like they do before [...]

Friday night was the neighborhood poker night, and it was the first time I hosted it. With the basement finally finished, I had a space to entertain without being a nuisance for the rest of the family. The game finally broke up around 2am, so you can see the need for privacy.
