Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. We would like to dedicate this posting to Katie's Grandmother Mary Malloy Stanley. "Nan" as she was affectionately known by all who loved her peacefully passed last week. Katie and Nan were very close and while she lived a wonderful and long life she will be missed. We had the good fortune of having the time to take Ryan & Aidan to meet Nan a couple of weeks ago. We will always treasure the time and pictures we were able to take with Nan. All four of us were able to make it back to Jacksonville last week to celebrate Nan's life. Here are a few of our favorite pictures of Nan.

Babies Christening
The babies were Christened on November 6th at St. Brigid Catholic Church. Katie's sister Suzi and her husband Terry were able to make it out from Florida and are Aidan's Godparents. My good friend Derek and Erin are Ryan's Godparents and Derek was able to make it down from San Jose to be with us. We want to thank Jane & Ginger for all their help with plannig the reception. It was a great day.

We also introduced Ryan & Aidan to solid foods last week. They really do not like Rice Cereal, and after trying a little for myself I can understand why. It is like drinking sake with out the added benefits. They do like their carrots much better than the cereal.

Other than all the excitement life continues to go on at the McClain House. Here are a few more random pictures from the past few weeks.
