American Cancer Society fundraiser this weekend

This coming Saturday (June 27th) we will be participating in a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society at a local high school. For more details please check out my page on the site. http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09CA?px=11838435&pg=personal&fr_id=13725
For anyone in the area, it'd be great if you could drop by to say hello and maybe walk with us. Please drop me an email if you can make it so that I can give you directions and let you know what times we will be there. If you can afford to donate to this cause, I'd also really appreciate it. There's a link on the above website. The American Cancer Society have done amazing work over the years. The research they have funded has saved lives all over the world.

Their first US Open

I do understand that my parenting skills may be called into question here, but this has to be expected when you leave a golf nut at home alone watching his four kids during US Open weekend...

Clara made sure the hospital staff knew that Tighe had a family at home. She drew a picture for Tighe from Michael, Cian and from the family.

9 month checkup

The boys saw their pediatrician on May 12th for their 9 month checkup.

Here are their stats:
Michael - 17 lbs 12.5 oz (5th percentile), 28 1/4 inches long, head circum 45cm
Tighe - 15 lbs 6 oz (off the chart), 27 1/4 inches long, head circum 45 cm
Cian - 18 lbs 10 oz (20th percentile), 28 1/2 inches long, head circum 46 1/2 cm

We were given the go-ahead to move Tighe to a high-fat, high calorie diet. So, lots of butter on bread, add whipping cream to his sweet potatoes and formula and add maple syrup to his oatmeal. We've done some of these suggestions but mostly we're hoping his great appetite will help him to catch up with his brothers.
