Catching Up

Life has been a little crazy around the McCann house lately.  Kevin is officially living up in Erie at his bachelor pad (aka Townehouse Suits).  We have about 3 weeks left until the family is back together again, and we are all READY!  Kevin and I are just trying to power through these next few weeks and get back into some sort of routine.  Ronan is a bit confused by the situation and has been missing his dad a lot.  Although we see Kevin every weekend, Ronan has not quite been himself without his favorite guy around.  Whenever we go to anyone's house he asks "Is this our new house."  When I drove him to the new house to try and straighten things out he asked "Oh, is this Pennsylvania?"  Then asked "How are we going to live in the forest?" There are a lot of trees in the new neighborhood.  Simon seems to be taking it all in stride, however, he just realized he has feet, so he kinda has his own stuff going on.  We have had a ton of help from friends and family which is making this situation livable.  Thanks to all the grandparents for the trips down and extra help.  I also have to give a shout out to Juls, Rogan, and Magnus, who keep inviting us over for dinner because we are so pathetic.  Our friends in Columbus have been awesome and supportive and I will be so sad to leave everyone.  Good thing we have a guest room at the new place!  These pictures go all the way back until April and Kevin's birthday....oops!

Rice krispie treat birthday cake.  Why is Ronan's hair so wierd?  I trimmed his "bangs" then he wouldn't let me trim the rest.  Don't fear, I took him to a professional to fix it. 


Zoo trip for Kev's birthday. 

Dan and Mary stopped by for a visit with Alana.  We are not sure if this is a picture of second cousins or if Mary is our kids second cousin.  Anyway, we have cute kids.

LOVE this face.

Circus!  (with a side of ears)

Simon enjoyed the circus too.

Popcorn (and his improved haircut)

We headed to Hocking Hills for a little family break before Kevin left town.  Love this picture of the best buds.

Exploring

I think this is our only picture as a family of four...ever.  Sad.

We had a great time hiking and playing in the water.

But a better time staying in a Caboose!!!

Camping

Marshmallows

Look closely and you will see a little blonde head in the top window

There he is!

Getting ready for bed

Tuckered out

Mini-tuckered out

Driving the train



Ronan still fits in the backpack! 

We have been spending some time with cousin Eli lately.  He is adorable with a shock of red hair on the top of his head.  He loves to nibble on Simon.

3 months apart.  I think Simon is pulling Eli's hair in this picture (not that he seems to mind)

I think Eli pulled Simon's sock off so he could eat his toes.

All the boys

Kissing cousins

We visited Kevin in Erie last weekend and headed to the local amusement park, Wadameer.  I like to think of it as Wally World, and Kevin is Clark Griswold.

There is a kiddie section and Ronan was in heaven!



Kevin had a pretty good time too.

Eli and the big guy

More cousin love
