Liza's Trip to Grandma's

Well the summer came and went, with working large amounts of overtime and on the hunt for a place of our own it really did not leave much free time.  We were very much looking forward to July 4th weekend, in the hopes of actually having a weekend to spend with Molly and Liza, not to mention it has come to be a traditional weekend for the McManus family to get together.  However my job had a big surprise for me when I walked in Friday offering me a very nice incentive to work that weekend, basically made me an offer that I could not refuse.  Fortunately Liza and I were able to make it to Grandma Sally's to spend some time with everyone.  We first went to Uncle Roger and Aunt Ivonne's house where we were greeted by a whirlpool of McManus'.  Needless to say Liza was somewhat overwhelmed by everyone as she had not seen everyone since her baptism and there were a couple of new faces, Aunt Barbara and cousin Ben.  Everyone was excited to see her, and deep down I know that she was excited to see everyone as she buried her face in my shoulder.  From there we made our way back to Grandma Sally's where Aunt Nancy, Uncle Richard, Aunt Barbara, cousin Owen and Ben were staying.  So Liza was able to get to know her Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and of course Grandma Sally a little bit better.  However the trip was over before we knew it and we had to make our way back to Claremont.

Hello Everyone!  Yes I am updating Liza's Blog!  Things are finally starting to settle down for a us a little bit, we have been very busy, and as you may have guessed it Liza is getting BIG!  Well a lot has happened since our last blog.  On May 15th, a very rainy day, Liza Leigh was baptized at St. Josephs Church with family in attendance.  We were very happy and proud to have Uncle Richard and Danielle be Liza's Godparents.

The Baptism was followed by a reception at Lloyd and Vera's where we had a nice spread laid out followed by Liza's gifts, which she had passed out by then due to the days events.  It was a great day with family and friends and appreciated everyone for being there.
