Aunt Susie's Spring Travels

Aunt Susie has been on the move! I have been lucky to have spent some wonderful time with the O'Malley Family & my Mom & Dad in the past month. It has been delightful getting to spend some time with Henry, James and little baby Teddy. I am SO in love with the little guys!

I was also able to enjoy a wonderful kayak trip at the end of May with Christopher in Northern Florida. We explored many freshwater springs and saw turtles, baby armadillos, and an alligator!
The weekend of June 5 (Grandma Pat's 65th Birthday!) I was able to head back to the Chicago area. While there, I took in an exhilarating Yellow Jacket's soccer game, coached by Tim O'Malley with Henry O'Malley as one of the star players. Henry scored some goals, and did a really fantastic job. Way to go, guys!

Also, it was wonderful to see how much little Teddy had grown in the three weeks since I had first met him. He's a dream!



For Mom's Birthday, we were able to get Claire, Sophie and Max on Skype for a big group Happy Birthday.

I can't wait to see everyone in August!


....And many more...

Passover

It's spring in Indianapolis and time for Passover seder for Grandpa Rick and Grandma Pat. We remember last year's meal when Sophie and Henry helped prepare the Seder plate. We look forward to having another Passover meal with Cathy's family in Chicago soon. Don't know if it will be before or after the arrival of the new O'Malley.

Sophie and Max favorite hobbies

Sophie loves gardening and Max loves playing in water....far from being scare of it unfortunately sometimes! So I bought these outfits for them.

Here are some pictures from this WE at LaBaule where the weather was beautiful
