End of 2004 Update

Michael is now nearly 8 months old. He is rolling around, sitting up, grabbing everything in sight, and saying "mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom..." We flew home yesterday from Tennessee where we spent Michael's first Christmas with Thomas' family. He got to see his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and some cousins too. His grandaddy took him for a ride on the General Jackson. His nan (grandmother) made sure he did well under the Christmas tree. We will be spending New Years moving into a new and bigger apartment in nearby Fairfax Virginia. Thomas has finished his first semester at the Catholic University of America in the Historical Theology PhD Program and will be beginning his second in January. Eileen will soon be caring for her nephew during the day. We hope the two boys will become fast friends.
