Bryce survives his Papa's babysitting

Jessie asked us to babysit Bryce for a few hours and you can see he had a lot of fun. The yogurt went flying on the wall and floor and during our walk he fell in the parking lot cutting his lip and biting his tongue. It was a good Halloween show for us. Blue Clues is very difficult to tolerate (should be destroyed).

Papa brought us apple picking today. It was suppose to rain all day, but it acctually turned out pretty nice! We picked apples, (Bryce had a bite of every single one--you would be lucky if you got it in the bag without a bite mark, thanks B)... and pumpkins, apple cider and apple cider donuts! YUM It was a great day! :)

Gettysburg, A Few Days Back in Time!

We took a few days and a little journey back in time to visit Gettysburg with the Cloughs. Even through the greatness of the Gettysburg Address, walking around the monuments and battlefields left you with a very sad feeling and much appreciation for the soldiers who still give their lives every day to protect our freedoms!

Jonny boy goes to school

guess you can teach an old dog a new trick... Jon's six saint's.

Are you ready Football?

Bryce is all set with his New York Giants shirt. Yes Ant it does look like a New York Ranger shirt but hockey isn't here quite yet. It's the Giants, you know the 2008 Champions. Any predictions for the Super Bowl? I got Giants playing the Jets.

Tone Dog runs the Green Lake Race

Hidden just outside of Syracuse along with Anthony's name in on the board there is a NYS Park called Green Lake. I think they call it green lake because you have to shell out 7 green ones to get in, some runners wear green and the lake even on a cloudy day appears green. Why Anthony chose to run this we will never know but it was worth being a spectator to watch a green tone-dog cross the line. The park is beautiful and if you wonder why NYS is short on funds this Park is being renovated including bringing in the sand for a beach!!! Real nice Park the Roosevelt hope develop in his era. Tone-dog must have thought you had to wear green or something as that was his color for the day. He finished the race and we enjoyed paying $7 bucks to see him cross the line. I guess we got a deal as Jill paid $7 for a 10 minute ride into the Park Saturday in the pouring rain just so Anthony could see where it was!!!!

THE #6 and Jon

Has anyone noticed the comparisons: He was born on 2/4 which adds to 6, Ely was child #6, Ely was born on the 24th which adds to 6, his 1st visit to Yankee stadium was on 6/6/06 (Yankees won 2-1), the sixth youngest of Janice and Jim (except by Scottish law), and finally guaranteed for a couple of 6's during a round of golf..

Ely Jon has come

Ely Jon weighing in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. entered the world on Monday August 24th at 8:57 a.m. He was 21 inches long (the same length his father drives a golf ball) and his parents are doing fine. I understand all his siblings were waiting to see him. What a lucky guy or not .... 4 sisters!!!! Josh you better him out!!!! Congratulations to you all. Photos taken by number 28's Grandfather. No not Jon remember he's the Dad but rather his father. Who would have thought Big Papa would pull out all his technology skills for his new grandchild???? Now if we can get him to make a comment on this blog on his own we will have a preview of the family will!!!!!

A beautiful bride

JoAnna made a beautiful bride and the perfect couple with Shawn by her side. Congratulations to both of you!!!!!
