Walk to School Day

The kids' elementary school had a "Walk to School Day" the other week.  Although we walk to school a lot, it was still really fun to see all of the kids' friends on the way!

Opry Mills

 We went to Opry Mills Mall yesterday to see Hotel Transylvania and to do a little shopping.  We had a great time and we had dinner at a cool restaurant called Aquarium.  There were TONS of amazing fish and the kids loved it!  I just wish that the food was better!!  I forgot my camera so I had to use the camera on my phone - forgive the blurriness! 

Declan at 1 week

 Declan is 10 days old today.  Wow - it really seems like the time has flown - probably because I don't know what day it is!!  Seriously, he is a fantastic baby!  He is a great eater and sleeps well too!  He has been eating every 2 1/2 hours during the day but goes up to 4 or 5 hours at night!!  He weighed 8lbs 8 oz at birth and was 7lbs 15 oz when we left the hospital at 36 hours.  At his appt 3 days later he weighed 8 lbs 10 oz!!!  Incredible! 

Declan James Cullinan

Declan is here!!!  He was born on Sunday night, September 23, 2012 at 7:58 pm.  He weighed 8lbs 8oz and was 21 inches long.  He was a full POUND heavier than any of the other kids and he actually looks chubby on the scale!  The labor wasn't great but it was so worth it!  Declan is super sweet, cuddly and just a quiet, fantastic baby!!  He looks EXACTLY like Aidan looked as a newborn and Aidan thinks that is great!  He even has the bright blue eyes that Aidan had!  

Declan and I came home from the hospital on Tuesday evening to a wonderful reception and beautiful welcome home sign!!  It is great to be home!!  All of the kids are so excited and love having Declan around!

Lunch at School

 Today Aoife and I walked down to the elementary school to have lunch with Emmy.  Aoife was so excited to eat her lunch out of her lunchbox and Emmy was super happy to have us there and to eat on the stage in the lunch room.  It's so nice that we can do fun stuff like this!!!

Playing

 The girls are getting along so well these days!  They spend pretty much every minute that Emmy isn't at school playing.  They make the biggest mess you can imagine but it's so worth it.  They LOVE playing together and I love that they love each other so much!

More Soccer!

It's finally getting a little cooler and soccer is feeling much more like a Fall sport!  Aidan's team has won both of their games - another one this weekend!
