Jack Sparrow and Dash to the rescure



Smiling Jack Sparrow and Dash made the Trick or Treat rounds this evening. I think Dash had two full bags of goodies, good thing he is always running around.

Video game junkies



Liam and Aidan are getting in some snowboarding practice. Perhaps we'll need to take them to the slopes this winter for the real thing.

Costume B-Day Party

The boys went to a costume birthday party for Liam's best-friend Brando today. Tons of kids, fun, food, and cake. Liam went as Buzz Lightyear and Aidan was Mickey Mouse. Yeah these were both old costumes, but I was working on short notice and I was short handed with Amber out of town for the Long Beach Marathon. Brando was Gene Simmons, but he had no idea who that was, but it was a pretty good costume, and he scared half the other kids away.

"Our Two Lads" hits the Web

September has come to a close and boy was it busy.

Liam started school at Our Redeemer and he loves it. He has come a long way in just a month, he has learned to spell and write his first name. He loves to sleep though, making it hard to get him out of bed in the mornings in time to eat a good breakfast. But once we get him going and dressed he can't wait to get to school.

Liam's first day of school.



Amber started a new job with LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) www.lls.org. She is making a difference "One Mile at A Time" helping people do the unthinkable, to run/walk a full or half marathon.

Papa McCarty went on vacation to Visit Ken in Seattle for 2 weeks. He road the Amtrak again, and sound like he had a good trip, but the train takes 30+ hours. I'll fly thanks. They went to Victoria BC via ferry, then to Portland OR, and then tooled around Seattle.

I took 2 weeks off to watch the boys while Papa was gone, and boy did I get nothing done, it was all I could do to watch the boys and some minor house work. I had big plans for working in the yard and garage, but I guess that will come.

This weekend "Our Two Lads" had a visit from Grandma McCarty, we had a great visit and grandma stayed the night. Liam demonstrated his newly learned skills of writing, and had to of course show grandma his computer skills.
