Great Grandma Gladys

Seamus and Saoirse learned what it would be like to have a Great Grandma yesterday.

We visited Cormac's Great Grandma Gladys Heenan (GGG) at her apartment building in LaGrange Park. GGG is 93 years old and is quick as a fox.

We ate:

Fruit Loops

Chocolate Donuts

Orange Juice

French Toast

GGG let us watch Elmo at in her apartment as well.

Needless to say the trip was a success.

I didn't get a picture of GGG this round. Next time.

Elevator to GGG's apartment.

Probably inappropriate.

All of GGG's residents were THRILLED to see this bunch. We had a great time hanging out in her courtyard entertaining the masses.

GGG's apartment looked exactly like Nan's. It made me want to cry a little...

All of her pictures, even a gold shamrock hanging on the wall and a nice pink recliner for watching her shows. I think that Nan and Grandma would have liked this crazy crew.

We're going back for Halloween.

A Friend of His Own

Seamie had a friend over today who was not

Will

Cormac

Sean

Doyle

Ellie

B

or Finn.

Meet Charlie. The first friend he actually made on his own. Neither of Charlie's parents went to John Carroll nor are they in any way related to us. A real live buddy.

The first half hour was a little rocky while they decided what to do with themselves. Seamus had very clear ideas as to how this play date should go and what exactly they were going to do. Seamus wanted to ride bikes, play baseball and play hockey.

Charlie was overwhelmed by the amount of new (read: other people's toys) toys set before him and wanted to play with them all at one time.

They recovered nicely by deciding to jump in leaves, play in the sand and dig a really deep hole under the swing set.

Seamie is set to visit Charlie's house next time :)
